These are needed in some larger parts of the world where French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, or Brazilian is spoken... You can also use C-q . Some X servers allow to compose a character by either a compose sequence or the basic character+dead modifier. You could also modify GNU Emacs' keyboard map to self-insert these characters by pressing particular key combinations. -- Greetings Pete <\ _\ O _ |o \ _\\_/-\=' _____________(_)|-(_) (_)___________________________________
