Hi,

In Windows, we can do "left alt + num key" to get some special
character. I search a way to do something similar in Linux Ubuntu
6.10, ideally the same thing.

I don't know about 6.10, but in Dapper Ctrl+Shift+<unicode> achieves a
similar result. For example, if I want an em dash, hold Ctrl+Shift and
type 2014 on the keypad.

No, it really depends how you're configured. That's not a default.
