How do I input a Unicode character using the hex value?

For example, in MS Word, when I type 3007, followed by alt+x, I will get 〇. This is my usual way of typing Unicode characters. I don't have to search. I just type.

How about in LibreOffice Writer? Is it possible to do this? If yes, how? If this is _not_ available, this could be a feature request for future versions of LibreOffice.

gives ways of doing this. the alt+x is limited to a few software packages and the above post gives two alternative to this that work in any package (in windows)
Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input for more info and if you want to do this in Linux or Mac OSX

Fedora 17 LibreOffice 3.5.7 OpenSUSE 12.3 LibreOffice 4.0.2

Chinese (traditional) - Unicode

This came up in the French section of these forums recently. Another possibility seems to be Chinese (traditional) - Unicode. See:
