I'm a little lost with this thread and I'm sorry I missed the beginning. Did it start with a particular branch of LO Writer ? I had often wondered how to apply a unicode character using the form U+266f and have resorted on the few occasions when I needed one, to inserting Special Characters. With LO Writer 4.2.8.2 in UbuntuStudio, Alt+x doesn't toggle unicode. In fact the keyboard shortcut lists show that practically nothing is defined with the use of the Alt key (only Alt+backspace = undo, Alt+shift+F8 = Block Area). Also Ctrl+Shift+u does nothing and is undefined in the keyboard shortcuts.
