Hi Axel,
This is *exactly* what I want to do. The problem is that I can't figure out how, using my US keyboard I can enter, say the 'Â' character. I know it's codepoint (194), but I don't know how to enter that value into the mini buffer. On a related note, I use the US international keyboard to type spanish. Using this software I can get the 'é' character for example by typing an single quote followed by an 'e'. This has always just worked in the main emacs edit buffer but not in the mini buffer. I've always been able to deal with this limitation but it would also be a nice to get that working.
Thanks.

I also change hundreds of occurrences of characters ``a la TeX'' in LaTeX files (say, \'{\i} for í, `? for ¿, etc.) with query-replace: Meta-Shift-%
You can try
Meta-Shift-%
At the minibuffer prompt
Query replace:
type, say,
¿
and at the prompt
Query replace ¿ with:
type
¿
It will start showing each occurrence of ¿; you can type y for «yes, replace» n for «no». If after some occurrences you are satisfied with the results, you can type ! «to replace all remaining matches with no more questions».
When you are in the Query-replace mode, you can type Control-? to see all the options.
Best
Axel
