Subject: Inserting ASCII coded characters
Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2003 12:16:43 +1030	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bnhtd5$8mb$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)

How can I insert ASCII characters by using their corresponding code?

In Windoze it used to be a case of simply pressing Alt and typing the 
ASCII code, for example Alt+179 for a ³.

They are accessable using 'gcharmap', but I have been unable to find a 
method using keystrokes in RedHat 7.2

I guess that there is a really simple way of doing this, but have been 
unable to find it.

Cheers,
Paul
