I have previously (up to and including Ubuntu 7.04) been able to use «Ctrl+Shift+u, hex code, space» to enter Unicode glyphs, e g, «Ctrl+Shift+u,5000, space» resulted in the Chinese glyph «倀». After the SCIM update to version 1.4.7, however, this is no longer possible ; when attempting to enter the glyph, I get «5000 » instead. This is the case both on Ubuntu 7.10 and the alpha 6 version of 8.04. SCIM is a wonderful feature and required for the type of work I do, but I should also like to have the opportunity to enter Unicode glyphs ad libitum. Can this interference - as I presume it is - be resolved, or another key pattern assigned to Unicode glyphs ?...
