No, actually, I don't. From my point of view "working character" is a slippery
notion that mutates when we try to pin it down. Perhaps we should stick with
"non-ASCII character"; that's clear.

Only if properly configured. If you use these keyboards with the wrong
settings, Compose ' O won't work, and there's no "Ó" key on the keyboard so
you'll be stuck. In these respects "Ó", "‘" and "’" are all in the same
category on a Spanish keyboard. And this is OK.

No, it hasn't been true *at all*. It's quite common for Japanese keyboards to
lack a ‘\’ key, for example. And this is OK too.

Not at all. That would be silly. I never use hex codes to enter these characters.
