I do that all the time already. AltGr-e gets me é and so on. This is
standard, no need to set up anything, as it's selected when I install
Xubuntu, and I maintain a keyboard map for it at
http://silmaril.ie/linux/keyboard.pdf

But in my work I often need to access many other characters from the
Unicode repertoire, and Ctrl-Shift-U nnnn Enter is a convenient way to
do this.

No matter; it works in many other Linux applications (even Thunderbird,
where I am typing now, so if I suddenly need the alchemical 'retort'
symbol 🝭 I can just type Ctrl-Shift-U 1f76d Enter and it appears. I can
always copy and paste to Terminology.

I don't know if this is an Ubuntu thing or if it works in other distros.
If it's a widespread systems facility, maybe it might be worth enabling
it in Terminology at some future point.
