Bug Description
Binary package hint: inkscape
The standard method for entering Unicode symbols (such as the Indian Rupee Sign) into Gtk+-based applications is the sequence:
<ctrl-shift-u> 2 0 b 9 <enter>
doing this in Inkscape results in a report that the character is not printable and no character being inserted. However copying-and-pasting "₹" directly allows it to be inserted.
Ideally Inkscape would not try to be too-clever-

As I understand it, the U+20B9 symbol was only approved a couple of months ago. <http:// std.dkuug. dk/jtc1/ sc2/wg2/ docs/n3862. pdf>
I guess this might have something to do with the problem? Inkscape has no problem with other Unicode currency symbols like U+20B5
