Except C-x 8 is nominally based on ISO 10646, so thereʼs some kind of
underlying logic to the characters it supports.

s with acute. But there are input methods where 's => s with cedilla
(eg Romanian), so what's the logic for preferring Polish, especially
when we already have Polish/Czech/Romanian/latin-n methods etc for all
