Unicode characters - introducing


looking at the matter objectively unicode is very convenient: It provides a single encoding for all languages. The only problem that occurs is the introduction of characters other than those normally available in the "national keyboard."
course, knowing the code you can insert any character unicode . The Linux is this: press Ctrl-Shift-u enter the code and press Enter.
already mentioned the program win gives the possibility to add multiple symbols using latex notation. Simply activate the appropriate plugin. Much more interesting feature is the ability to win the introduction of mathematical formulas (images are converted to png) using latex notation.
Marcin Wolinski prepared configuration files that define another keyboard for Polish : in addition to the Polish characters and essential typographic characters (ellipsis, quotes, and other small pause) equipped with a number keypad to allow dead characters to add the most common "accents" Here are the letters ... a full description of opportunities .
Another advantage is the system ibus . It allows you to write virtually any characters from the keyboard, which were not adapted to this (for example, using transliteration of Cyrillic characters.) Ibus system is mainly used for character input Japanese, Chinese, Korean ... What's more you do it in many ways. One of the additions
ibus system is a plugin (ibus-table-latex), allowing the entry of many exotic characters using latex notation : switching the keyboard in the keyboard mode ibus, write \\ alpha α to get a stamp. Full list of possible For characters is quite long ...
last, finally a method (but not very effective) to enter characters with accents is the use of special stamps from the group of "combining diacritics ": enter first letter (for example, a) and then a special sequence of characters ( For example, 0xcc 0x80 - to add an accent grave) and get the letter à. But still the problem of placing these special codes ...
