In Ubuntu, press Ctrl+u → release keys → press the code → press ↵ (Enter). In Windows and MacOS X I don't know. OT: I actually created my own keyboard layout to include all the characters I think I need - 4 characters/key, I can even type with the arrow keys (←↑↓→⬄↔↹⇨, Enter key (↵¶), Tab key (⇤⇥), Delete key (⌦⏏) and more… ♢ (AltGr+Shift+y), ♣ (AltGr+y), ♡ (AltGr+Shift+u), ♠ (AltGr+u) If you don't have a Unix-like OS, you can probably, as a workaround, create four simple macros that insert those characters for you and then assign them to a keyboard shortcut or you could create four buttons and assign the macros to them.
