As XFCE is based on GTK+ you should be able to use this combination CTRL+SHIFT+U+Hexcode [1]. You can release CTRL+SHIFT after typing U then type the hexcode and hit Enter. After that the character appears. When holding CTRL+SHIFT then typing U+Hexcode the character appears after releasing CTRL+SHIFT. From [2] N WITH TILDE, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER 00D1 N WITH TILDE, LATIN SMALL LETTER 00F1 CTRL+SHIFT+U+00D1 = Ñ CTRL+SHIFT+U+00F1 = ñ [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input [2] http://www.unicode.org/charts/charindex.html PS: Google is your friend Regards, Daniel
