are you talking as if you are typing in an email client compose 
message, like evolution or Kmail?

doesn't it depend on the font you are using?
in my Kubuntu 6.06 in Kmail, when I type CTRL-SHFT-21 I get the "!" 
exclamation point.

in Edgy, kmail does nothing when I type CTRL-SHFT-2122
Evolution also does nothing.
