I am currently using Quantal and I am trying to write in Oriya, a South Asian language. The problem is even though changing the keyboard layout to Oriya works in most cases, I am unable to type the Unicode character 0B5F (Oriya Character YYA).


In Fedora, it used to work by using the combo Shift+/.


I've changed one of the lines in the section xkb_symbols "ori" in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/in from


key <AB10> { [  U0b2f, U0040    ] };

to


key <AB10> { [  U0b2f, U0b54    ] };

But when I type in gedit, I get a strange box-like character filled with 0B5F.


How do I fix the keyboard mapping so that I can print the Unicode 0B5F on screen?

The strange box like character filled with 0B5F indicates that the character being referenced is indeed U+0b5f, but the font doesn't support it.



Try changing the font you're using in gedit to a font that does support Oriya symbols
