But in that case, what is the point --at this moment-- of having
unicode_start? The keyboard does not generate valid UTF-8 (apart
from pure ASCII), but only valid UTF-8 can be displayed. So it
seems that a 'console in UTF-8 mode' does not allow you to read
your own texts. I must be missing something..
It is the compose mechanism that doesnt yield Unicode.
But you need not use it. You can also bind eacute to LAlt-E
or so.
(Yes, stupid, broken, inconvenient, etc. But it works.)
