[Newbies] Entering the caret (^) in Squeak on Linux

Hi Christian,

I've configured my keyboard with 'deadkeys' (I need the caret for
Esperanto characters like ĝĥ), so I already tried "^ + Space", but it
justs displays a questionmark.
When I switch to 'nodeadkeys' I can enter the caret. So this is solved
for now ;-)

But I'm still wondering, why I can't type UTF8-characters? I thought
Squeak is UTF-8 aware?

Thanks and best regards,
Marc
