Seems rather unlikely considering that UTF-8 was originally invented for 
Plan 9?


Turns out it is the same as anywhere else in Plan 9 - tap ALT (not hold) 
then the letter x then the hex code for the rune you are trying to enter 
and a semicolon (if fewer than 6 hexadecimal nybbles).


Example:  ALT x 2 1 d 4 ;


There are shorter versions for some characters - see the man page 
keyboard (6) for details
