To be absolutely clear: The keys have to pressed when the focus is in an
input field, that is, where you'd normally type something.  E.g. a
gnome-terminal.  Pressing Ctrl+Shift+U enters a special mode where you
type a Unicode character by its hex code.  If you type at most 6 digits
and then press Enter or Space, the typed value is converted to a Unicode
character of that codepoint.  E.g. press Ctrl+Shift+U, type 4000 and
press Space, you'll see a Japanese or Chinese (I don't know, sorry)
symbol.  But if you press Ctrl+Shift+U, followed by 7 digits, you'll see
a nasty lockup.  (Be sure to save all your data before!)
