    What the "U" stands for? How can they be used? Please detail.

    They're Unicode maps, and different operating systems have different methods of input. See here for brief descriptions of how to input Unicode on Windows, OSX, or *nix:

    Clause 5.1 of ISO 14755 describes a Basic method whereby a beginning sequence is followed by the hexadecimal representation of the codepoint and the ending sequence. On some systems, this is limited to the BMP (characters up to U+FFFF).

    An example of an ISO 14755-conformant system is GTK+, where the beginning sequence is CTRL+SHIFT+U and the ending sequence is null. In some older versions Ctrl and Shift must be held down while entering the number In GTK+ versions before 2.10, Ctrl-Shift-U is not used, only Ctrl-Shift-[hex number]

    • The RichEdit control on Microsoft Windows (as used in for example WordPad) supports the following input method: one first enters the character’s hexadecimal code, then immediately presses Alt + x. For example, entering f1 and then pressing the combination will produce the character ñ. The code must not be preceded by any digit or letters a-f as they will be treated as part of the code to be converted. This also works on Microsoft Word 2002/2003 for Windows.

    • In the Vim editor, the user first types Ctrl-V u, then types in the hexadecimal number of the symbol or character desired, and it will be converted into the symbol. (On Microsoft Windows, Ctrl-Q may be required instead of Ctrl-V.) In Emacs, the equivalent command is M-x ucs-insert.

    • In Mac OS X and in Mac OS 8.5 and later: one chooses the Unicode Hex Input keyboard layout. Holding down the Option key, one then types the four-digit hex Unicode code point. On eleasing the Option key; the equivalent character will appear.

    • On Microsoft Windows, if the registry key HKEY_Current_User\Control Panel\Input Method\EnableHexNumpad has a value of "1", holding down alt and pressing the "plus" on the numeric keypad, followed by the hex code, will work.

    • In Linux first press Ctrl+Shift+U, then type the desired hexadecimal code. I.e. type "0041" to get the letter "A".
