The Linux/Unix ”equivalent” should be the Ctrl+Shift+u thing:
Press Ctrl+Shift+u, release the keys, then enter the UNICODE, like
2ab3, then press Enter or space or something, and the ”2ab3” will be
replaced by ”⪳”. Doesn't work in the web browser Opera, which use
another method: UNICODE, then press Ctrl+Shift+x and the UNICODE will
immediately be replaced by the corresponding character.

In Linux/Unix you can also use the Compose key (which key to use for
that can easily be set by the user – I use Caps Lock) to create some
characters. It works like this:
Press the Compose key, release it, then enter two or three characters.
In my case, since I use Caps Lock for Compose, it looks like this:
Caps Lock oc → ©
Caps Lock --. → – (n-dash)
Caps Lock --- → — (m-dash)
Caps Lock oo → °
Caps Lock oa → å
Caps Lock "a → ä
Caps Lock "o → ö
Caps Lock ,c → ç
Caps Lock => ⇒
Caps Lock .. → …
and so on.
