How do you search for them in a book?

ctrl-F once you have digitized it.

  • And how do you type the character you are searching for?

    • On Ubuntu: l-ctrl+l-shift+u, <codepoint>, <enter>

      Of course, that sucks, so I've programmed a nearby key to act as l-ctrl+l-shift+u.

      Several characters can also be typed with Compose Key.

      For characters I use regularly (in my case, generally the elder and younger futharks), I've created a keyboard out of an Elgato StreamDeck XL so I can type any of these runes with a single button press.

    • I don't think that not having a physical key on the keyboard has ever stopped anybody from inputing unicode symbols.
