I recently discovered *ibus* as a way to input unicode symbols anywhere,
and not only GTK software. The example i discovered is one _right
arrow__symbol_ "shortcut" that is:
1. Press and hold *ctrl *and *shift *keys.
2. Type the 5 keys: *u 2 1 9 2*
3. Release the *ctrl *and *shift *keys.
What happens with the above is that we see the keys typed in step 2
appearing in the screen, but they will be substituted by the symbol "→"
when we release the held keys, in step 3.
That method does not work for me on Gtk either. This method does, though:

But this link content describes _exactly__what i said_! 🤔🧐
Not quite. You are supposed to release the Ctrl and Shift keys when you
see an underlined u on the screen. Then enter the code and confirm with
Space or Enter.
Indeed. We interpreted that Gnome documentation in different ways. I
would rewrite that to make it clear. And the truth is: both ways work. I
prefer the steps i made because i do not need space or enter use to make
the character appear. When i release ctrl+shift, the *code pointed*
character appears.
