Actually, the only way I've found to do so, other than by copying and pasting, is to have the Unicode codepoints handy and use ucs-insert. Am I missing some way to enter these characters? If not, what would be the best way to add this capability for my own use? I'm guessing that would probably be to add the characters somewhere on the C-x 8 command tree. C-x 8 _ is already occupied by the two characters FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR and MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR, which I didn't know existed before now and could easily do without.
