This works under GNOME, which also has a variant that is a little friendlier to the fingers (and probably also works better with various accessibility changes to the shift keys): 1. Press Ctrl+Shift+U 2. Release; see 'underlined u' feedback 3. Type the hex for the Unicode character (leading 0's optional); hex digits continue showing underline feedback 4. Press Enter; underlined u and digits are replaced with final glyph -'f
