Thanks to both James and George for helping me with this. I've gone
ahead and created code templates that pull up the characters
effectively. The space issue is annoying but a great improvement over
having to cut and paste or dig through the character map - and I
needed something to implement right away. If however an "insert
template" is added to oxygen at a later date, I will definitely use
that!

Thanks again,
Dot

That would seem to be a very good way to do it.  So you'd have the template but
then have a shortcut key that called that.  Any possibility that you could just
define those shortcut keys when creating the template? (Rather than have to
define the template, then go associate a key with calling it.)

Less convenient than just being able to map it to a keystroke I'd say, but might
be helpful to see them I suppose.

Many thanks,
