The Linux/Unix ”equivalent” should be the Ctrl+Shift+u thing: Press Ctrl+Shift+u, release the keys, then enter the UNICODE, like 2ab3, then press Enter or space or something, and the ”2ab3” will be replaced by ”⪳”. Doesn't work in the web browser Opera, which use another method: UNICODE, then press Ctrl+Shift+x and the UNICODE will immediately be replaced by the corresponding character. In Linux/Unix you can also use the Compose key (which key to use for that can easily be set by the user – I use Caps Lock) to create some characters. It works like this: Press the Compose key, release it, then enter two or three characters. In my case, since I use Caps Lock for Compose, it looks like this: Caps Lock oc → © Caps Lock --. → – (n-dash) Caps Lock --- → — (m-dash) Caps Lock oo → ° Caps Lock oa → å Caps Lock "a → ä Caps Lock "o → ö Caps Lock ,c → ç Caps Lock => ⇒ Caps Lock .. → … and so on.
