Bug still present in quantal. The example is a bit badly chosen though, since I doubt there are keyboard layouts with latin characters without a question mark. Better examples would be ctrl-shift-uFE (þ aka SMALL THORN) and ctrl-shift-u26f (ɯ aka IPA high back rounded vowel aka SMALL TURNED M).
However, there is the following user-side fix: Instead of keeping CTRL and SHIFT pressed when releasing the U and then typing the hexcode, press CTRL-SHIFT-U, then release all keys, type the hexcode and press space. This method, though it necessitates an additional keypress (space), does the same as the first method and avoids any ctrl- shift-<key> triggered commands. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799983 Title: Terminal menu short-cut(s) override Unicode composition Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal What I expected to happen: Keying CTRL+SHIFT+U 2F should produce a question mark.
