Consider that the special characters palette is system-wide, not
app-specific. A user may activate it in another app and then bring
yours up with the palette still available, even though it's not
appropriate. A user may also wish to activate it within your app
before switching to another app where it is appropriate, and will be
annoyed to find that you've removed the command.
Also consider that there's more to your app than just your code. For
example, it would be reasonable to use this palette to ender text into
the search box in the Help menu (although this doesn't actually work
on Leopard, it would seem) and there may be other text fields around
that you haven't explicitly created.
In addition to what Michael wrote, it is possible for the user to open
the character palette from the Input Menu. It is impossible to stop
the user getting at the character palette.
