[solved] diacritics in linux

It's weird. I have to 1) Ctrl-Shift simultaneously with the letter "u". That leaves an underlined "u" in the text. 2) type the last three digits of the hex code, eg...

á = 0e1
é = 0e9
ñ = 0f1
ö = 0f6
ü = 0fc
° = 0b0

...and 3) Enter or Spacebar.

chromium

Specific to Chromium, we often find Cyrillic or Chinese symbols are replaced by boxes. In such cases, we have to go to the evil Adobe empire. So, for example, for some of the Chinese fonts...

# pacman -S adobe-source-han-sans-otc-fonts

...but one simply needs to search on "adobe-source" and one will find their language. Close and reopen Chromium once complete.
