Bug Description

Up to Ubuntu 13.04, you could open gedit (or any other GTK-rendered input field), and press Ctrl+Shift+u to enter unicode mode:

An underlined "u" would appear, and you can type a number followed by space or enter to insert any unicode symbol.

For example, "Ctrl+Shift+u, 2200, enter" would insert the unicde FORALL symbol (∀).

In Ubuntu 13.10, the same still works, but the underlined "u" and inserted numbers are INVISIBLE, which is very confusing.

This has nothing to do with libucimf. See https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/unstable/GtkIMContext.html
