You can enter any Unicode character using only your keyboard with the numeric code point of the character. Every character is identified by a four-character code point. To find the code point for a character, find the character in the character map application and look in the status bar or the <gui>Character Details</gui> tab. The code point is the four characters after <gui>U+</gui>.

To enter a character by its code point, hold down <key>Ctrl</key> and <key>Shift</key>, type <key>u</key> followed by the four-character code point, then release <key>Ctrl</key> and <key>Shift</key>. If you often use characters that you can't easily access with other methods, you might find it useful to memorize the code point for those characters so you can enter them quickly.

You can make your keyboard behave like the keyboard for another language, regardless of the letters printed on the keys. You can even easily switch between different keyboard layouts using an icon in the menu bar. To learn how, see <link xref="keyboard-layouts"/>.

An Input Method expands the previous methods by allowing to enter characters not only with keyboard but any input devices also. For instance you could enter characters with a mouse using a gesture method, or enter Japanese characters using a Latin keyboard.
