These are needed in some larger parts of the world where French,  
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, or Brazilian is spoken...

You can also use C-q <depending on the base used a HEX or DEC or OCT  
value><SPC, RET, ESC, cursor movement to end>.

Some X servers allow to compose a character by either a compose  
sequence or the basic character+dead modifier. You could also modify  
GNU Emacs' keyboard map to self-insert these characters by pressing  
particular key combinations.
