Hi;
I would like to bind a particular unicode to a
specific key or modifier + key (eg. Super + y = ctrl+shift+u2714).
How would I do that in gconf-editor metacity keybinding_commands?
If I can write a bash script to do it, can I bind the script?
Or,
How do I write <Ctrl> + <Shift> + U + 2714 so that an application will
read all the key strokes?
Or,
Is there a way to add U2714 to the compose list?

I have asked this question here and on the Gnome Forum and received no
reply.
Is it because the question is particularly stupid, difficult or just
boring?

Hi,

No, I don't think your question stupid or boring.

I have very little experience with inputting unicode chars, but did some
digging, hopefully some of these links can be of some assistance to you:
Means of Composing Accented Characters in X Window System
http://process-of-elimination.net/wiki/Means_of_Composing_Accented_Characters_in_X_Window_System
- Tips for extending the compose list.
Latin Plus: An Input Method Module for GTK+
http://gtk-im-extra.sourceforge.net/imlatinplus-doc.html
- Seems to be another way of using the compose key.
How to Type Letters with Accents in GNOME

- Describes a multikey, no idea how this differs from compose.

HTH,
