You look a character up by name, and copy it into place. E.g. crocodile, 🐊.
Thanks, as I'm on KDE desktop I've installed "kcharselect" it does the same thing. It was a bit hard to find it, first I've looked for "Similar packages" section in the "gucharmap" web page ¹ but I didn't find nothing related to QT applications then I performed an "apt search kde char" and I found it.
There is a thing that it hurts me a little, if you look at the section "Similar package" in the "kcharselect" web page ² you'll find "gucharmap" but this is *not* true vice-versa.
Which guys takes care of section "Similar packages" into packages web pages? I think "kcharselect" must be added to "Similar packages" section of "gucharmap"!
