If by any chance you mean how to do this in Emacs, you can try this: C-q 2 2 5 RET For me that generates: á Note: I have set my `read-quoted-char-radix' to 10. by default it is 8 which means you would have to enter the ASCII code in octal. You might want to put this in your .emacs: (setq read-quoted-char-radix 10) Or use M-x customize-option RET read-quoted-char-radix to set it.
