press and hold Ctrl+Shift+U, type 00+<character code>, release Ctrl+Shift+U, character is entered reported bug because that no longer works. Some searching led me to other methods. The following works to type Unicode... press Ctrl+Shift+U and release, type 4 char hex Unicode value, press enter, character is entered so... bug still extant, original method to enter Unicode characters doesn't work work around found and my need to enter Unicode chars is resolved. ✓ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
