Texting in a script that is not yet supported on iOS or Android devices requires many extra steps. This scenario happens when the mobile OSes are slow to update fonts for a Unicode update (Ethiopic Extended-B for example), or in cases for neography that is going through a lengthy Unicode adoption process.
Describe the solution you'd like
The "Share" button at the top of the mobile app would show a drop-down menu when long-pressed, the menu items would be:
Text
Image
The Text would be the default action (also for a short-press) and work as per the present behavior. The Image option would create an image of the yellow area of the editor, and this image is then what gets shared with another app.
The image of the edit area would include the entire area, including text that may have scrolled off of the screen.
As an alternative to a menu of options, a 2nd share button could be added with a small image icon in the corner.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Making a screenshot of my entire phone screen, cropping to just the editor text, saving, and sending the file. This alternative has too many steps which makes it unfriendly. It may also require the user to repeat the steps multiple times when text has scrolled offscreen.
