While we're at it: The other thing WP can do (Ctrl-W) is insert all
sorts of characters that are not on the keyboard, and many are not
attainable by the Compose key either. I think there are 10 screens
worth of characters and symbols, each one having some 40 or so
available. At some point, MS Word actually copied this verbatim,
Ctrl-W and all, but then they took it out--maybe the WP people sued
them. That must have been about 1990. So I don't know if OO can put
that feature in, or if WP would sue them. But it sure is handy
sometimes.
Do you mean like Insert | Special Character...? If you like keyboard
shortcuts, it's Alt+I, P.
I trust this helps.

Very good, Brian. I didn't know that this was there. I'm not sure if
it's as complete as the WP version, but it's close, if it's not equal.
