I'm using emacs 21.4 on Debian GNU/Linux (testing). In HTML, you can get the character using "‘" For example, "‘hello’" is displayed as `hello' but with a nice inverted opening quotation mark. I'd like to compose email messages containing some Hawaiian words, some of which require inverted single quatation marks to indicate glottal stops, such as "Hawai`i". Other special characters such as "a" ("a" with a macron or bar on its top) can be input in the latin-4-postfix mode of emacs. (I looked at Latin-1, -2, -3, and -4 coding set, but I don't think there's an inverted quotation mark included in them.) Thanks, Ryo
