Alt-* is NOT a unicode insert on windows. It is a latin1 insert. In
Pidgin, like any gtk application, you use control-shift-u then a hex
sequence to insert unicode characters. For example, You'd type in ea
after your control-shift-u (in older versions of gtk you had to hold
control-shift for the entire sequence, windows might still be using such
a gtk) to produce ê. Note that I've inserted the character directly
here.
