If you use the applet (NOT the widget) it will tell the Unicode values,
but you can not enter them like you could in KDE-3.  Remember that this
is the new improved (dumbed down and GNOMEified KDE).  Seriously, I use
the GNOME applet because it is better although it too lacks the feature
to select characters by entering their UTF-16 values.

It would be simple to add this feature as a menu and toolbar item.
IMHO, the widget could be improved to have two tabs like the GNOME
applet has so that it could also provide the information window.  I am
starting to think that having the coders do the designing is a bad idea.
