You may want to take a look at the standard Character Map application; it's under "Accessories" in the desktop menu for Fedora Linux. I find it far easier to use, and more useful, than OOo's Insert > Special Character dialog.
It includes a complete Unicode map--not limited to one selected font, full information about each character, and you can search the character names. This makes it much easier to locate the character you need.
You can copy/paste characters into OOo, or drag them from the map into your document. The characters are entered as pure characters, without tying them to a specific font as the OOo special character dialog does.
I'm using the Gnome map, but there are similar facilities for KDE and Windows, as well as Mac, I expect.
