I'm thinking C-# would be a good candidate. Also, It would be nice if the information you get from M-x describe-char-after would display the Unicode code point in hex. Perhaps even the info from C-u C-x = (or a Unicode equivalent suitably easily located). One more thing, if I am in a UTF-8 language environment, then cutting and pasting from other X apps should really try to find a codepoint from Unicode to insert, rather than some other mule character set. Right now, eg if I cut and paste from Firefox I tend to get iso-2202-jp (IIRC) double-width characters when I paste in some unicode characters. Perhaps these things have been solved already in CVS emacs? Sam.
