I think we've been over this ground before, but if you use EMACS, you'll
find this handy:

Of course, some of the sequences used might end up being common in Perl
6, so that could be interesting ;-)

In vim, you want:

http://www.vim.org/htmldoc/digraph.html

but if you use vim or emacs inside a terminal, you'll want to make sure
it's in iso-latin-1 mode (e.g. in gnome-terminal, you have to use the
menu: "Terminal->Set Character Encoding")

I can't tell you how long I thought my vim was broken because it would
just output "blanks" when I used the digraphs. ;-»

We need an S-1 that describes the environmental / egronomic / aesthetic
issues surrounding the use of the latin-1 and/or Unicode characters.
