The OP was specifically about Debian 12 with XFCE, for which the character selection tool is gucharmap (GNOME Character Map). This is the *correct* answer to the question posed. You've now gone off on an irrelevant tangent which is par for the course. That you don't like or use a desktop environment is completely beside the point, and I'm afraid you've become your own X/Y problem. People use these desktops environments for the tools they provide. This seems so obvious that it wouldn't require mentioning if it weren't for you and all the other professionals chiming in with answers that are unconnected to the use of XFCE and the tool that mysteriously disappeared.
