I'm trying to enter variojus special characters. It was suggested to define a level 3 chooser through,
"setxkbmap -option lv3:rwin_switch"
I may need special help but this produced no discernible effect. Seems like there should be something simple like CTL/ALT+${numeric} but, I'm daned if I can figure out what it might be.

Thanks for looking

I do Ctrl Shift and U followed by the 4 character Unicode representation, like 03A9 for Ω
