I am currently using Quantal and I am trying to write in Oriya, a South Asian language. The problem is even though changing the keyboard layout to Oriya works in most cases, I am unable to type the Unicode character 0B5F (Oriya Character YYA).
In Fedora, it used to work by using the combo Shift+/.
I've changed one of the lines in the section xkb_symbols "ori" in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/in from
key <AB10> { [ U0b2f, U0040 ] };
to
key <AB10> { [ U0b2f, U0b54 ] };
But when I type in gedit, I get a strange box-like character filled with 0B5F.
How do I fix the keyboard mapping so that I can print the Unicode 0B5F on screen?
