Without copying and pasting, how do I type this letter on OS X?

System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources > Enable: Kannada

The letter is SHIFT + ' (or just ") to yield ಠ.

Linux users just type <C-shift>uxxx, where xxx is the hex code point. (That actually works for anyone running X11).

Unfortunately, you apparently can't do it on OS X without bringing up a menu and/or changing your keyboard layout: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_input#Hexadecimal_code_...

Specifically this works only in GTK apps.

Not in my experience...

I’ve created a custom OS X keyboard layout that allows me to just press `⌥` + `O` to get `ಠ_ಠ`. Here it is: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/custom.keylayout/tree/maste...
