Yes, I always forgot the other Desktops :-).
As you correctly point out, it's a GTK+ feature.

Tested and yes, also works here.

I think they are two different methods... to get the same (one uses
"compose" key and the other one uses unicode input, the latter not being
available for QT users).
Curious is that I can get "¹²³" by using the "Shift+^+number" method but
that does not work for the rest of the numbers "4 5 6 7 8 9". When I
press that combo (i.e., "Shift+^+4"), my system "beeps" and outputs
nothing :-?
