Today I learned how to insert unicode in Vim.  It's simple:

In insert mode, type <kbd>Ctrl+V</kbd>, then type <kbd>u</kbd>, then type the
hex unicode.

You can also type character like escape (shown as `^[`) or carriage return
(shown as `^M`) by typing <kbd>Esc</kbd> or <kbd>Enter</kbd> respectively.
