Dear Sirs!

I want to call "string-replace" for replacing a string
with one containing an unicode char. How do I type it
in the minibuffer? At best giving the decimal/hexadecimal
number of the character?

Thanks
Rod.

You can use the input method 'ucs'. Then you can enter Unicode
characters as Unnnn, where n is the Unicode codepoint in hex. E.g. U20ac
for the Euro sign.

Use C-q.

If you set read-quoted-char-radix to 16

  (setq read-quoted-char-radix 16)

you can use hex (it defaults to 8 (octal) for some unknown reason).

For example: C-q 5 0 b b RET
