I just tried the unicode function, and it doesn't work in Ubuntu 25.04.
To be honest, I didn't even know you could do such a thing. It would
have been useful whenever I wanted to enter the French quotation marks
since the laptop keyboard is too small to have a key to support them.

In Settings/Keyboard/Special Character Entry/Compose Key you can select a
key to trigger the compose sequence.  For example I have it set to right
alt.

<RightAlt>u"  gives you ü,  <RightAlt>"U  is  Ü.  I'm not sure what French
quotations marks are,  « and » ?   (<RightAlt><< and <RightAlt>>>.

The key sequences are no worse than remembering Unicode hex and most like
€ have several variations.
