I find on my system (Fedora 5, Xfce 4.2, Gtk 2.8, LANG=en_US.UTF-8) I 
don't need to type ctrl-shift-u, just hold ctrl-shift whilst typing the 
unicode numbers.
Also, what does the d mean in u264d - for me I can press any key, e.g. 
right arrow after typing the numbers and the unicode char is inserted. 
If I type 'd' then the unicode char followed by 'd' is inserted.

I just thought - that trailing d is for decimal, right ;-)
