... But indeed, it would be reasonable to consider a better method (available
both in LibreOffice, and e.g. in MS Word), which is typing the widely-known
hexadecimal Unicode of the symbol: U+B0, then pressing Alt+X. In unambiguous
cases, it's even enough to type B0 (without U+), and then Alt+X. The decimal
codes is just a legacy from pre-Unicode era (even though I have implemented
full Unicode range for Alt codes now).

The method is available since LibreOffice 5.1:
