Oh, then I misunderstood your question :(

To enter chars for a KWord file:
XML files take escaped characters: &#131; or &#1234;
You should also try to fetch and compile vim6 as it reads and writes utf-8 
encoded files and allows for all sorts of input methods.

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
