title: Enter Unicode characters with 8-digit hex code
body: <p>How do I enter Unicode characters like <code></code> without copying it to the clipboard and pasting it?</p>
  
  <p>Things I know:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The command <code>ga</code> on the character <code></code> gives me <code>hex:0001d4ed</code>.</li>
  <li>I can copy it on the clipboard and paste it via <code>"+p</code>.</li>
  <li>I know how to enter Unicode values that have a 4 digit hex code:<br>
  <code>&lt;C-v&gt;u</code> for example <code>&lt;C-v&gt;u03b1</code> gives the <code>α</code> character.</li>
  </ul>
