I don't see it in The GIMP. It is available in Lighthouse if the KDE SFS is loaded at menu -> Utility -> KCharSelect. If KDE SFS is not loaded, the GNOME Character Map can be installed with PPM. Search in PPM for 'gucharmap'.Character Map is a utility included with Microsoft Windows operating systems and is used to view the characters in any installed font, to check what keyboard input (Alt code) is used to enter those characters, and to copy characters to the clipboard in lieu of typing them. The tool is usually useful for entering special characters. It can be opened via the command line or Run Command dialog using the 'charmap' command.
