I'm trying to make a shortcut to send, for example, the universal quantifier symbol, ∀ (U+2200). Xdotool's own documentation doesn't really explain this.

For the above symbol, there are two options:
Xdotool generates the character and types it:
xdotool key U2200The shell (Bash) generates the character, and Xdotool types it:
xdotool type $'\u2200'

What I ended up doing is:
echo -n "${TEXT}"|xsel -b
xdotool key ctrl+v
This fills the mouse buffer, then pastes it.
