Subject: how to input Eszett ('ß')?
Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:24:29 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8762i1y14i.fsf@pobox.com> (raw)
[Text-mode table enclosed: best viewed in monospace font.]
I'm currently running GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 with a US English locale,
and use `C-x 8` (`M-x ucs-insert`) fairly often, mostly successfully.
But for 'ß',
I tried and got
------------------------------------------- -------------------
C-x 8 ss 's'
C-x 8 RET tsett error
C-x 8 RET eszett error
C-x 8 RET TAB, then searching *Completions* found nothing
finally, following a wikipedia lookup (from which I could have
just copied the damn thing :-)
C-x 8 00DF success, but I'll
never remember that
How easiest to get this character on a non-German keyboard?
TIA, Tom Roche <Tom_Roche@pobox.com>
