Comment (by rustybird):

 Whoops, sorry for yet another dupe.

 So Ctrl+Shift+U is the
 [https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkIMContextSimple.html#GtkIMContextSimple.description
 GTK hotkey for numeric Unicode codepoint entry]. Hence
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-browser.git/tree/dom/locales/en-
 US/chrome/layout/xbl.properties#n7 Firefox's warning] about
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-
 browser.git/tree/dom/xbl/nsXBLPrototypeHandler.cpp?h=tor-
 browser-68.2.0esr-9.5-1-build2#n890 Ctrl+Shift+U] (code for the specific
 combo originated in
 [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=311756#c36 this Bugzilla
 comment]).

 Probably nothing that can be done here, unless you want to change the New
 Identity hotkey to something else.
