General stuff to know about using IPA on Linux

Basic way: If you’re using a kernel later than 2.6.18 (e.g., Ubuntu Edgy or later) then hold down Ctrl-Shift, type u, then the hex number (column 3 in the RTF file that you can download from here). For earlier kernels, hold down Ctrl-Shift and type the hex number. To see what kernel you have, open a terminal and type "uname -a." Works system-wide, in all applications. 

Alternative method: Use the Character Map utility that is part of your desktop. “Character Map” is what it’s called in Gnome, but in KDE it is "Kcharselect." If you are using some other desktop poke around.

Application method: Some applications (e.g., full-featured word processors, have an Insert Special Character feature.
