Thank you. BTW, I remember that we once discussed about an ability to input characters by their Unicode names and codepoints. But currently I can't find such a command, maybe I miss it. I see only the old command `ucs-insert'. Is `ucs-insert' already obsolete? As I understand, hex values of Unicode characters can be now entered by `C-q'? -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
