For the xxx-mode commands, the non-ascii characters are displayed as : 1) \200 (decimal value of 128) 2) lowercase y with two dots over it. (decimal value 2303) e.g. for xml-mode you have a line with: \200 .. { y with two dots over it } sgml-maybe-name-self I am wondering what is the key combination that they are showing? That is, how would I input \200 or y-with-two-dots from a standard keyboard? Also, why are two dots shown separating the two characters?
