Does your mini include the Gnome Character Map utility? If so, you may
want to take a look at it--it contains a wealth of information and has
better usability than OOo's Insert > Special Character dialog.
In Fedora, it's in the main desktop menu under Applications >

The actual binary is /usr/bin/gucharmap
See http://live.gnome.org/Gucharmap for more.
If you often need to insert the character, you may want to define a
replacement (Tools > AutoCorrect > Replace) or an AutoText (Edit >
AutoText); I use it often enough that I just memorized Ctrl+Shift+U b0
(space).
