It's Gtk+ which does not support it. See
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148386#c14

for the discussion. Basically  the Windows specific Alt+### is superseeded 
by Ctrl+Shift+Uxxx - with xxx being the hexadecimal unicode. It works 
directly on canvas and in edit controls. Use e.g. Ctrl+Shift+UAE for the 
registered trademark sign. Ctrl+Shift+U80 for  and Ctrl+Shift+U81 for  
can not currently test due to lack of numeric keypad.
