Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Writer - special characters

Ctrl-shift-u then four hex numbers. I've created a list I paste by my 
computer. Memorize the most common. You can also create your own desktop 
shortcuts for ones you use a lot. There's probably an easier way, but 
this works for me. It works in lots of places on my Linux install, not 
just in LO.
