for those interested... just found this article

http://tiny-tools.sourceforge.net/emacs-keys.html
Author is “jaalto Exp”. Written in 2002.

It seems to be a comprehensive article on emacs keybindings. (far more
than i would cover)

From the site, i learned about this shortcut:

(global-set-key (kbd "M-i <up>") "↑")
instead of the usual
(global-set-key (kbd "M-i <up>") (lambda () (interactive) (insert
"↑")))

Neat!

i started few months ago to write a article explaining why are all
these variations but it's currently incomplete:
“The Confusion of Emacs's Keystroke Representation”
