In ms-office-word shortcut-key for special characters can be applied as following:

enter image description here

But now I am using Libre-office Which is pre-installed with Ubuntu! and want to put shortcut-key for special characters. But there is not such option available:

enter image description here

It is difficult for me to write every-time with Unicode Ctrl+Uthen055thenEnter(0055 is only example for U which is not special-character).

Thus, Help me to add shortcut-key or any other method as I am leaving ms-office and working with libre-office Version: 4.2.3.3 (open-source and pre-installed with Ubuntu 14.04)

    It's done through the desktop environment, not through LibreOffice itself.

    +1 for Sparhawks comment. Here's a tutorial on setting up custom compose sequences. Another option would be to use LO's autocorrect. May 14, 2014 at 13:52

I don't know how to solve this with the built in tools.

Nevertheless, I use AutoKey to insert text snippets like my address system wide. I guess you could just add a snippet containing the special character and set up a shortcut for it. AutoKey offers a lot of configuration possibilities for triggering snippets.

As my system is broken in the moment, I can't test it. Hope it helps anyways.
