How to use unicode characters

I came to this page to find out how to enter a symbol. I was disappointed not to find out how to do so. (On my Windows computer you enter the code, then Alt-X.) I would be grateful if somebody could add some information - or links to such information - on how, in practice, to use Unicode.

Unicode organization is still anti-Serbian and anti-Macedonian

Specific Russian (top) and proper Serbian/Macedonian (bottom) letters. This is an example of the problem when Unicode support isn't enough, then OpenType and competitive technologies must pop in.

See the image and note that OpenType support is still very weak (Firefox, LibreOffice, Adobe's software and that's it, practically). Also, there are Serbian/Macedonian cyrillic vowels with accents (total: 7 types × 6 possible letters = 42 combinations) where majority of them don't exist precomposed, and is impossible to enter them. A lot of nowadays' fonts still have issues with accents.
In Unicode, Latin scripts are always favored, which is simply not fair to the rest of the world. They have space to put glyphs for dominoes, a lot of dead languages etc. but they don't have space for real-world issues. I want Unicode organization to change their politics and pay attention to small countries like Serbia and Macedonia. We have real-world problems. Thank you. --Крушевљанин Иван (talk) 00:02, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
