I think it's very useful. For example for windows users that are accustomed to Alt + xx (like me), or when you need to write a strange character or when you don't know the unicode code of a character.
Something else, when i do a <sudo apt-get install gucharmap> in my Lubuntu 10.10 the output is (sorry, i don't want to translate everything): Leyendo lista de paquetes... Hecho Creando árbol de dependencias Leyendo la información de estado... Hecho Se instalarán los siguientes paquetes extras: libgucharmap7 Se instalarán los siguientes paquetes NUEVOS:* (packsges to be instaled)* *gucharmap libgucharmap7* 0 actualizados, 2 se instalarán, 0 para eliminar y 0 no actualizados.
