Some keyboards (Finnish, for example) can produce those characters (semi-)directly but through Emacs's input methods it's possible with just basic Ascii keys. For example, turn on "TeX" input method (C-x RET C-\ TeX RET) and type \=3Da for "=C4=81" and \=3Di for "=C4=AB". You can = also use "ucs" input method and type Unicode code points directly: type u0101 for "=C4=81" and u012b for "=C4=AB". There are probably some language-specific input methods too which may have even easier ways for inputting these characters.
