Weird, never noticed that finishing the input with Space works as well. Anyway, the note about unbinding Ctrl-Shift-u in the preferences was added because in older versions we accidently used Ctrl-Shift-u as default for another keybinding. Maybe the note could be changed to reflect that. However, I don't get it to insert a line break even when using Enter/Return to finish the Unicode input.
