Hello Everybody,



I know that this is the simplest question,

but I could not find the answer.

So any help would be greatly appreciated.



How can I map a key to insert a unicode character

(say, U+XYZW)?



(define-key global-map "\M-a" ?????")



Thanks.



Regards,

B.


M-a is already bound to 'backward-sentence but anyway this might work:

(global-set-key "\M-a" (lambda () (interactive) (insert  ?ઔ)))

I have 21.3 and I do it this way: e.g. U+0A94 (some Gujarati glyph -
letter AU). Download the free (for non commercial use) Babelmap, find your
character and then copy it into Emacs, insert it after the question mark
in the above statement (in *scratch*), evaluate, test, and then put it in
your .emacs if you want to keep it:

ઔ
