Description Olivier Ripoll 2005-08-01 16:49:40 UTC 
On windows, characters that cannot be accessed directly with the keyboard can be
obtained with some key combinations such as "ALT key followed by the number
0176" (for the degree sign "°"). The character map of windows provides examples
of such key combination. In GTK applications on windows (Gimp, Inkscape), this
functionality does not work. It would be a useful feature to have.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into
our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

NB: We do have ctrl-shift-hexcode to input unicode.
