I'm no expert on Unicode or German, to put it mildly. ;-) The official name you are looking for is `LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S'. = (Don't ask me why.) So if you can remember that one (!) then you can do `C-x 8 = RET latin small letter sharp s'. Completion is available, thankfully. But you might also have a look at this library: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/ucs-cmds.el It gives you an easy way to create commands to insert specific = characters such as this. And you can of course rename the commands. By default, the = name of the command to insert this char would be `latin-small-letter-sharp-s'. The library provides a macro, to which you pass a regexp string that = matches the char names that you want to create commands for. If you wanted just one command, for this char, then you could do this: (ucs-make-commands "latin small letter sharp s") Then you can rename the command, if you like. If you wanted a command for each latin character, you could do this: (ucs-make-commands "latin") And so on.
