The normal system-wide way to insert special characters in Linux is Ctrl-Shift-u, followed by the hex code, then spacebar. This works just about everywhere, except in Scribus, where it is F12. Someone here once told me the reason for making it F12 is because Scribus is cross-platform. However, that doesn't make sense to me. Windows and MacOS have system-wide insert special character shortcuts similar to Linux - Alt+decimal with numeric keypad on Windows and Alt-hex on Mac except that on Mac you have to pad the hex with leading zeroes to make it four characters. OpenOffice.org is also cross-platform and it uses the input shortcuts of the operating system instead of remapping to a special key. I have never understood why I have to try to remember that it is F12 in Scribus.
