Oops. Okay. A user of my local lug pointed out that it is now Control+Shift+uXXXX, where XXXX is the character code point.
However, this does not work in some applications (notably, emacs- snapshot-gtk and xterm). IIRC, the old system worked before with those; so the real issue more likely than not that it just does not work in those applications. I will change the report itself to reflect that. ** Summary changed: - Unicode keyboard entry no longer works + Unicode keyboard entry does not work in multiple applications ** Description changed: - In Edgy, I am unable to enter Unicode code points directly as I was able - to do in Dapper. I cannot find any information on this, so I am not - able to assume that a new system has been developed for Unicode - character entry. + (Rewritten to be more accurate) - For example, using Dapper, I was able to type Ctrl+Shift+2122 to produce - the Trademark (tm) symbol, Ctrl+Shift+3c0 to produce the pi character, - and Ctrl+Shift+2014 for the em dash. These no longer work under Edgy. + In Edgy, it seems that entering Unicode characters directly using their + code points (e.g., Control+Shift+uXXXX) does not work for xterm or + emacs-snapshot-gtk. I can almost see it for xterm, because that is not + a GNOME application, but emacs-snapshot-gtk integrates pretty well and + it would seem that I should be able to insert characters like “ and ” + into it without issue. - I do not have the slightest clue as to what package to report this bug - against, so I am sorry that it is currently not associated with - anything. + In either application, when I press Control+Shift+u, I get a system + beep, and future numeric keypresses are registered as Shift+number. For + example, when I type the sequence to get — (the em dash) in xterm or + emacs, I get instead “)!$”. -- Unicode keyboard entry does not work in multiple applications https://launchpad.net/bugs/59543 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
