The FAQ should mention the i command, then. The i command is your friend. > Because I thought `ö' to be an ASCII character. > `7-bit-ASCII' would have been more precise, I guess. Ascii is always 7bit: it defines characters 0 through 127. `ö' is Latin-1 or Latin-9. > Because I looked at the help page `Rebinding Keys in Your Init File' > that did not mention `unibyte' at all.

It used to be more common, I think, but for some reason it isn't asked often anymore. Even when it was common, that meant maybe a question every couple of months...
