I made a small (easy) change to edit-item-form.jsp to help with this.
The change adds a table of "special" characters to the end of the edit
form, so you can copy and paste the character required from the table.<br>
<br>
Happy to share that with anyone interested.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, you can make a table of the characters you regularly
use, using Word or whatever, and copy-paste from that. Just be sure the
encoding of the file or page you copy from is UTF-8.<br>
<br>
There should be no problem copying from any page where the encoding is
UTF-8.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone advise me on how to include
non-standard
characters in the dc.abstract field - or any field at all – when
creating
a bib record in Dpsace , please? For example, I have an abstract with
entries
like the following</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> GF(p<sup><span style="font-size: 12pt;">l</span></sup><span style="font-size: 12pt;">) </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">but the
superscript “l”
does not carry through when I copy and paste from e.g. a Word document
or from
the web. What I end up having is GF(pl). There are many occasions like
this
where we wish to include mathematical characters that simply won’t
transfer to DSpace.</span></p>
