If you want the ability to input special characters using their Unicode number, add Unicode Hex Input to System Settings/Keyboard/Text Input

This will add the entry method in your header bar, and you can then select it for use

Hold down the option key and type in the 4 digit hex string for the character you require. A list of unicode characters and hex codes can be found here:


As you hit the last hex digit, the character will appear.

For example, if you need a capital H with a circumflex accent, hold down "option" and type 0124. Note the leading zero is required.
