It's a long history, but basically because in all other programs you can use Alt+numpad. > You can already type an Unicode > codepoint with `ucs-insert' (bound to C-x 8 RET). Thanks about that.

Another thing: I think it is impossible to emulate the Alt+keypad just with elisp code because I need to catch something like "Alt-unpressed" event.
