How to Disable the Unicode Insert Shortcut

General

The Ctrl+Shift+U shortcut is interfering with the toggle case key of many editors.
The shortcut key is not part of the KDE desktop environment but is part of the ibus system.

Disabling/Removing the Shortcut

Install the application for configuring shortcuts for inputs from the ibus system.

sudo apt install ibus-setup

Run the ibus-setup command as a regular user to start the GUI application.
Open the Emoji tab end delete or change the Unicode code point: entry.

Restart the ibus daemon to make it have effect.

ibus restart

If this does not have effect logout and login from the desktop.
