Key combinations for Unicode characters ? [TW, Xfce]

I know this has been asked a million times or perhaps even more, but I cannot find an answer.

What is the key combination for entering Unicode characters?

I use Tumbleweed with Xfce. I have tried:
Shift + Ctrl + u … gives underscored u
Alt + u
Shift + Alt + u

None of this seems to work. Suggestions?

Nevermind, I found the solution after one more search:

  1. Shift + Ctrl + u
  • you see an underscored u, but this means the system is expecting an unicode code now

  1. insert your unicode sequence

  2. press ENTER

For example, “interpunct” (Interpunct - Wikipedia)

Ctrl + Shift + u, then 22C5 results in ⋅

One question … are you on a laptop? Some devices require you to also use the Fn key
