Unicode characters are, in fact, easily available in OOo ; the only
difference between the input method discussed in ISO-14755 and that used in
OOo is that instead of «Ctrl + Shift + typing «xxxx» (hexcode for the
desired glyph)», in the former, in the latter a slightly more complicated
procedure, «Ctrl + Shift + u», release, type «xxxx» then «Space», must be
performed to produce it. Thus in OOo, «Ctrl + Shift + u», followed by typing
2190 and then «Space» gives ←. What seems to have happened is that John
Jason inadvertently de-activated this procedure in OOo, but not in his
Feisty setup as a whole. For me it continues to work in OOo as well, on a
Feisty boot on AMD 64 X 2. Whatever can John Jason have done ?...

This is an old bug, see here :
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=48666
A shame it's available in all applications (under Linux) except OOo !
