Why do you think ucs-insert is obsolete?

I guess C-q _could_ be used to insert unicode chars, but it's not
compatible with previous releases, and a bit weird anyway -- notably,
C-q uses octal by default, whereas ucs-insert uses hex, which seems to
be standard for specifying unicode chars.  While C-q can be changed to
use hex chars, that's a change to its historical behavior.
