+Inserting unicode characters
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+Various platforms may provide different ways of inserting unicode
+characters into your documents. On Gnome, for example, you can hit
+Shift-Ctrl-u, release, type some hex digits representing the code
+point for the character you want, then hit Enter or Space. For this to
+work in Geany, you'll need to first unbind that key in `keybinding tab
+in preferences dialog`_.  Note though, it works slightly differently
+in Geany, in that you'll need to continue to hold down the Shift and
+Ctrl keys while typing the code point hex digits.
