How do you type the Greek beta

One way is C-S-u 0 3 b 2 Space
what you mean by C-S-u ? can't figure out
ctrl-shift-u followed by a zero, a 3, a b, a 2, and a space.

try it at a terminal prompt, follow it with a space, and see what you
get.
I get a beta.

I could workaround running:
python -c "print u'\u03b2'"

Thanks,
Works under Mate with LibreOffice.

You don't the <expletive deleted> GNOME 3 for this!
yeah, I failed to mention I was using Mate Terminal, which is probably
derived from Gnome-2 terminal. Didn't try it in LibreOffice, but glad
to hear that it works. I did try it in vi (vim) where it didn't seem
to do anything.


I used to use GNOME 2 exclusively, I think the best version of GNOME was 2.4.2.

When GNOME 3 was foisted on us, I initially fled to xfce, now I've been on Mate for a few years.

With LibreOffice 5.1.x you can also use <Ctrl>X, see:
