This includes accented letters (*), but also non-latin alphabets or ideographic systems, and even emojis, if your font supports them.
(*) I know from experience that accented letters that are a single character (for instance, ê) work, but I don't know if combined diacritics (for instance, e+^) work correctly
Blighty and Rich2005, I understand the instructions given by you, ctrl + shift + U followed by the number:
10ctrl + shift + u00b0 and I'll have 10º.
But I always used Alt+Code straight from the keyboard.
To get the same result above I just had to type 10 + Alt + 167 and it would also have 10º.
My keyboard accentuates smoothly characters like `^ ¨, àôü, just using the keys, and in any other program I use Alt + Code without any problems.
So I thought that after yesterday's power outage my Gimp could have somehow corrupted itself and created that impossibility.
Well, I checked and it is also impossible to use Alt + 167 with Inkscape.
Thank you guys.
PS: Not conformed to this limitation of Gimp, even the most Jurassic editor that can exist allows the use of Alt+Cód, Mais c'est la vie.
