Depends,
If these are characters from a language, you can use the keyboard 
switching applet to switch to a layout of that language.
If these are arbitrary Unicode characters, you can 
Ctrl-Shift+<codepoint> and the character will appear.
Use Accessories/Character Map to get the codepoint.
Or, simply use the Character Map to copy-paste it.
