Also if you use those symbols a lot you may bind them to keys, for example like this: (global-set-key (kbd "M-A") "=E2=88=80") (global-set-key (kbd "M-E") "=E2=88=83") or even like this: (define-key key-translation-map (kbd "M-A") [?=E2=88=80]) (define-key key-translation-map (kbd "M-E") [?=E2=88=83]) With the second variant the symbols may be inserted anywhere (including isearch).
