I guess C-q _could_ be used to insert unicode chars, but it's not compatible with previous releases, and a bit weird anyway -- notably, C-q uses octal by default, whereas ucs-insert uses hex, which seems to be standard for specifying unicode chars. While C-q can be changed to use hex chars, that's a change to its historical behavior. -Miles -- Infancy, n. The period of our lives when, according to Wordsworth, 'Heaven lies about us.'
