Are you suggesting that a simple colon is something that a novel or blog never uses? In my experience it's a pretty basic character that every US keyboard has. I'm also fairly certain that the devs at MS could easily just type that character on their own keyboards, but that's just a guess on my part.
The problem is MS not using a colon. If other localities need other characters beyond a colon, then that is Microsoft's job to figure out and provide for their users. But it is also their job to provide a colon option for their US users. This has been Microsoft's MO for decades: ignore the simple stuff and make the UI harder and more cumbersome for users whenever possible.
It need to be solved at the MS core in my opinion. I shouldn't have to worry about system fonts just to get a ':' to show up. Wouldn't you agree?
Welcome to Tenforums. I assume you joined only to find a post over a year old, cherry pick some content out of context, and have a mini-rant about the shortcomings of MS.

Tenforums is not a Blog nor a Novel. It is a Windows 10 Help Support Forum totally UN-associated with Microsoft.
If you have issues with MS and their shortcomings, I suggest you contact them directly.
