So in Minecraft, the section sign (§) can be useful to make colors in text and so on. However, I can't seem to type it. I've tried pasting the character in using Ctrl-V as well as middle mouse. I've even tried using xdotool type "§", but it just doesn't register, even though using xdotool type "foobar" will work. Is Minecraft perhaps just filtering out that character or something on Linux?

to type special characters in the terminal you need to use the compose key
To configure the compose key on Ubuntu, you need to install dconf and you can find the setting
in the package dconf/org/gnome/desktop/input-source/xkboptions
From Ubuntu 14.04
dconf → org → gnome → desktop → input-sources → xkboptions
e.g. to set the Alt Gr key as compose:
['compose:ralt']
Then you can use the compose key to type that special character.
By pressing Compose, some key, some key… in sequence, you can input characters. I have my compose key set to Menu; to type a
©(copyright symbol), I would use Menu, o, c.
A full list of X compose key combinations can be found online (200 KiB), or locally in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.
The character "§" is included in the below list
XCOMM Other symbols
<Multi_key> <s> <o> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN
<Multi_key> <o> <s> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN
<Multi_key> <S> <O> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN
<Multi_key> <O> <S> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN
<Multi_key> <s> <exclam> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN
<Multi_key> <S> <exclam> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN
<Multi_key> <Cyrillic_pe> <Cyrillic_a> : "§" section # SECTION SIGN
The other option is typing the Unicode character as suggested from Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy.
