John Jason, this doesn't work for me on my 64-bit machine. If I enter «Ctrl+Shift+u,d8,spacebar», I get «d8 ». I can't help wondering if the new version of SCIM, which in the upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy was upgraded from 1.4.4 to 1.4.7-1 can be the culprit. Do you have SCIM installed on your machine ?...
