For the past few years using Gnome on Fedora, I have been able to enter
arbitrary Unicode characters in any Gnome/Gtk application using
Ctrl+Shift+U followed by the character's code point as hex digits.
I just upgraded to Fedora 13 which includes Gnome 2.30, and this handy
feature seems to have disappeared!
I found some advice to use ibus instead, but so far I've not been able
to get ibus to do what I need without having it interfere with my normal
typing. I just need a quick way to type common symbols found in English
text (e.g. an em-dash).
Is this an official Gnome policy, that ibus will be the only way to
handle input by code point? Or is it a Fedora issue?
Is there any way to get the old behavior?
Thanks for any suggestions or information.
