So your suggestion means I have to change input methods to get the "C-x 8" keys. But maybe C-x 8 could be changed to a command which reads one key sequence according to a different input method. Then we can devise an input methods with ways to input lots of different characters, and have C-x 8 use it. >> Incidentally, I think it might be nice to be able to insert named >> characters.
