My 2¢ was Re: Linux Programmer

In a Linux program, such as Netscape, KMail, or others, how does one put in
characters that are not on the keyboard?
For example: In Windows (please no flames), in order to get the cent symbol
(¢), one needs to hold down Alt+0162 on the numeric keypad.
I have tried this in KDE and it does not seem to work.
Is there a way of gettting this functionality in KDE/X ?
Thanks!
