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.
