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.
