[Gllug] Unicode input

[- Tethys]

What's the approved way to enter text with arbitrary unicode code
points into an X11 application these days? Ideally, I'd like a way to
enter RFC1345 mnemonics. At the moment, vim supports this via its
digraphs, and I find myself opening up a vim instance, entering the
appropriate digraph and then cutting and pasting the resulting
character into the application I'm using. Clearly this is suboptimal.
Is there a better way, without requiring that specifical application
to support RFC1345? To me, it seems obvious it's something that the
windowing system should be providing, rather than the application.

Any suggestions?
