There's a project (created by me) which tries to work around this
limitation of X by providing a daemon-like app intercepting Ctrl+Shift+U
and allowing to enter UTF-32 character codes:

Title:
  Need way to insert arbitrary unicode characters in Kubuntu

Status in X.Org X server:
  Confirmed
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  KDE, Qt, and Xorg are in disagreement about who should implement ISO 14755, which would facilitate the input of arbitrary unicode characters. This is the original KDE bug:
  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103788

  It was pushed upstream to Qt:
  http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-8

  From there it was pushed further upstream to Xorg:
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26747

  Xorg pushes the bug downstream, back to either Qt or KDE to implement,
  just as Gnome implemented the fix themselves. An Xorg developer who
  does not want to be named says that if KDE won't implement it then my
  distro should. So here I file that request.

  Note that in KDE 3 one could use the Kcharselect applet to enter arbitrary unicode characters, however that has been disabled in KDE 4:
  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190776
