You have been subscribed to a public bug:

KDE, Qt, and Xorg are in disagreement about who should implement ISO 14755, 
which would facilitate the input of arbitrary unicode characters. This is the 
original KDE bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103788

It was pushed upstream to Qt:
http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-8

>From there it was pushed further upstream to Xorg:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26747

Xorg pushes the bug downstream, back to either Qt or KDE to implement,
just as Gnome implemented the fix themselves. An Xorg developer who does
not want to be named says that if KDE won't implement it then my distro
should. So here I file that request.

Note that in KDE 3 one could use the Kcharselect applet to enter arbitrary 
unicode characters, however that has been disabled in KDE 4:
