input: "f7" --> get: "oe"

input: "f7" --> get: "oe"

[christop]

I woul'd like to entrer the french char "OE" from keyboard.
I now don't have any special input method, and I'd like to keep that
way since I don't want things to become complicated.
However I can enter any character I want except this one.

Could it be possible (it probably is), to enter a char from it's "ascii
code":
f7 and get "oe"

I haven't found the command to do it.

Thank you

Christophe

I could send you by eMail some characters that you could copy and paste 
into GNU Emacs.

Or you could get yourself the file utf8.txt from the Kermit 
distribution. It has about 60K different Unicode encoded characters.

I don't know if it's really answer my questin since the only character
I'm interested in is the one I pointed before and which is part of
iso-latin-1, hence 8-bit encoded, and of whom I already know the 8bit
code, which is "f7" (hexa).

I think there should be a way to enter a character from it's code
(number --> then it puts the character)

Actually, the OE ligature is 0xBC in ISO 8859-15 aka Latin 9:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8859-15

In Unicode, it is U+0152 (in the Latin Extended A chart):

No, you're definitely wrong here! œ and Œ are *not* part of ISO Latin-1 
(it has Æ and æ)! f7 in ISO Latin-1 is ÷, the DIVISION SIGN. You can 
find œ in Mac Greek. And in Unicode utf-8 at U+0153, UTF-8 
representation as C5 93. Yes, I have to admit: in some Losedows code 
pages too. I know of CP 1252:

	[Œ]  140  214  8C  CAPITAL DIGRAPH OE
	[œ]  156  234  9C  SMALL DIGRAPH OE

When you set your encoding to this you can simply input œ by typing C-q 
2 3 4 <SPC>. In an UTF-8 encoded buffer it's C-q 5 2 3 <SPC>. <SPC> is 
just a proposal. Any non-digit key input would finish the alt mode.
