I tried all of these and they work for me.
Let's see again how to type them:

     Cltr+Shift+u              # at this point you see an underlined
'u' character, which means start typing the code.

     2113                         # you type the codepoint (without
the 'u'). Backspace is OK to fix things.

     Spacebar                  # You press the spacebar to commit the
letter. Enter is also fine.

and at this point you get ℓ.

Can you give some info about your distribution? Which version of LibO
you are running?
This feature is a GTK+ feature, which means that it won't work at all
if you activated IBus.
