I think C-x 8 is usefull if your keyboard allows you to type most of the characters you need, but not all. For instance, with a French keyboard you can type 'à' but not 'á' and this is not worth using an input-method in emacs. Well, we don't use 'á' in French, but I sometimes really use C-x 8 to enter a NBSP or a 'þ' in a smiley when I don't have a Compose Key. -- Gaëtan LEURENT _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
