You don't need to do anything, not even run a DE or an IME (like ibus). It
should simply work out of the box, provided your X configuration is correct.
Make sure your X can produce those characters and you're set.
If you can't, then you should simply copy & paste from a character table, like
the one shown by kcharselect.
