Hi all, I had a small problem with entering some ASCII and Unicode characters that are not available on the normal keyboard (En-US). Right now I have to use the character map to get those characters but that makes it really slow to work with such text. Is there a simpler, faster way to enter such characters using their ASCII or Unicode values directly in a text editor (I use gedit/kwrite/kate et al but would like to know a universal method, if it exists, that works with all the editors including the command line ones..). For example, in Windoze you can enter any ASCII character by holding down Alt - typing out the ASCII value of that character - then releasing Alt - the character is inserted at the cursor. I am currently using Gutsy Gibbon. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and regards. -- "Best things in the world are free; FREEDOM is priceless!" kamaleshwar morjal (कमलेश्वर मोरजाल) http://kamalx.livejournal.com/
