In Linux and GTK+ applications (such as gedit, firefox and
libreoffice), you can type

Ctrl+ Shift + U

and at this point you write 1D54B. Finally, you press Spacebar. You get 𝕋.

See more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input

If you type these characters very often, it should be possible to
create an extension
that adds more comfortable mnemonics. For example )mT for 𝕋, )mI for 𝕀, etc.
The extension would make use of the Autocorrect feature in LibO.
