Tips

To insert an UTF-8 character given its unicode codepoint nnnn using bash:

    > printf '\ucea9'
    Ω

Or using utf-8 encoding (e.g. \u03a90xcea9)

    > echo -e "\xce\xa9"
    Ω

In vim, in insert mode, to insert

  • a BMP unicode character: <C-v>unnnn (with 0000 ≤ nnnn ≤ ffff)
  • any Unicode character: <C-v>Unnnnnnnn ( with 00000000 ≤ nnnnnnnn ≤ 7ffffffff)
