Public bug reported:
(Rewritten to be more accurate)
In Edgy, it seems that entering Unicode characters directly using their
code points (e.g., Control+Shift+uXXXX) does not work for xterm or
emacs-snapshot-gtk. I can almost see it for xterm, because that is not
a GNOME application, but emacs-snapshot-gtk integrates pretty well and
it would seem that I should be able to insert characters like “ and ”
into it without issue.
In either application, when I press Control+Shift+u, I get a system
beep, and future numeric keypresses are registered as Shift+number. For
example, when I type the sequence to get — (the em dash) in xterm or
emacs, I get instead “)!$”.
** Affects: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu)
