In Linux Thunderbird is there a keyboard shortcut alternative to insert>Characters and symbols ? I have tried various combinations of fn-alt-shift ctrl but none seem to work.

Assuming English US version, Alt+I followed by Alt+C.

If you look in the menus (the ones from the full menu bar, not always the ones from the ≡ application button), they show a Ctrl+x for the keyboard shortcut. Also, each menu item has a bar underneath its accessibility key, which can be used along with the Alt key to navigate them without the mouse.

There is also an add-on that allows you to create keystrokes for specific characters: abcTajpu.
