But there's also the issue that unicode includes a number of other common fractions, so it might be nice to allow for supporting 'em as C-x 8 1/3 for =E2=85=93 and similar for =E2=85=9D =E2=85=97 etc. in future. > with something else, and then use C-x 8 NNNN RET.=20 Should allow for N to NNNNNN, not just NNNN . > Note that I'd also imagine the NNNN to use hex, so it would also confli= ct with other > existing bindings,=20 Also N.B. conflicts change depending on M-x iso-transl-set-language ! IMO might be better to just require a single character prefix, rather than eating so much of C-x 8 space. C-x 8 # 263a seems nice to me, though, my bad, C-x 8 0 263a is perhaps easier to type for people who aren't using british keyboards (# is an unshifted key for british/irish). Is it a goal to eventually deprecate C-q entry? Just wondering... C-q 0x263a doesn't seem so bad...
