As the title says; Nano via the terminal, how to write special characters?

I am having trouble trying to debug a UTF8 problem and would like to create a special character in a file via the terminal.

Anyone know how to make for example alt-code symbols in nano?

If you hit CTRL+SHIFT+U you will get an underlined u. Then type a character code and hit ENTER

You can see all the unicode character codes here: http://www.utf8-chartable.de/

The part where it says U+00e9; you can type CTRL+SHIFT+U 00e9

Or even just CTRL+SHIFT+U e9

Then hit ENTER
