The character is o on the keyboard. When this key is pressed nothing happens. All the other keys (characters) work fine except for the one that should be given by pressing o. Even Shift+o Works. I also tried exchanging the mapping of the unicode to another key. Even with that, the unicode character did not work. I have tried changing xkbd/symbol mapping to a different key. But that didn't help. With xev tool, the Unicode symbol is detected in the Terminal. But it does not work when tried elsewhere. I can insert the character by typing the Unicode, like Ctrl+Shift+ U07AE. But to do this, I have to change language to English. This issue came up on Ubuntu 17.10; in 16.04 it works as it should.
