Special characters via keyboard?
Hi--
Is there a way to use the keyboard to insert special characters into a document? For instance, in DOS years ago I was able to type alt-0123 and get some character. Is there something similar in linux? I see character map has U+00A9 for the copyright sign (©)--but what do I do with that code? Thanks!

Re: Special characters via keyboard?
Keep ctrl+shift pressed and type the Unicode number in hexadecimal (i.e. permitted digits are 0-9, A-F). Then release ctrl+shift and you have the character there
