My opinion is that we don't have too few methods for entering
characters.  One could argue that we already have too many,
and the existing ones are too complicated.  So writing yet
another system or daemon sounds like a bad idea to me.

What might be useful is understanding all the details of how
all the existing methods in ws* and X* (and possibly elsewhere?)
work, then simplify them.

I'm not aware of a simple method of entering Unicode codepoints 
numerically that works everywhere, and i find that lack annoying.

Yours,
  Ingo
