when I type the unicode number
after an a, b, c, d, or e -- one of the five letters used in Unicode

together as a unit, which then produces an empty square. The only way I have
been able to get the program to recognize 1E25 as the correct unit in this
context is to highlight 1E25 and then press ALT-X. This method is very
clumsy, however.

If you have only a few possibilities, or you know up front all the
characters you'll need, your Autocorrect technique is good.

If you have unanticipated Unicode characters, you can always press
the space bar before pressing the four digits and then Alt-X. Then
left arrow (not backspace) once, backspace once to get rid of the
space, right arrow once, and continue typing. At least this method
is all on the keyboard.
