Yes, AllChars ”emulates” the Unix/Linux style of entering special characters. If you are on Linux (at least Ubuntu, I can't say much about other distributions), there is also another way, better in that matter that ou can enter every UTF-8 character there is to enter: Ctrl+Shift+u → Release keys → enter the hex code, in this case a0 → hit ↵(Enter). This works for any UTF-8 character, such as: ☏☠←↑↓→⇨↵¶⅛¼⅜½⅝¾⅞⅓⅔⅕⅖⅗⅘⅚⅙×·☹¡☺¿πΩωφ©℗℃℉⚀⚁⚂⚃⚄⚅τ♢♣♡♠⡺⡻⡼⥻⧒⩽⩾のあタㄞ亁乬亜亹亶廬靈 etc etc (there are thousands of them, but few fonts contains all of them, so you need additional fonts in some cases).
