How to insert special characters using unicode for each system

It sounds like the keys used to insert special characters using the keyboard vary by system (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.)

For each major system. I would like to know the keyboard sequences used before entering the unicode numbers.

See
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.1#Unicode_character_input_with_Alt.2BX
for version V5.1 or higher. The shortcut Alt+X must be used immediately after entering the “hex” codepoint. Leading zeros may be omitted.

Thank you!
