There are some input methods in GNU Emacs, you can hold down AltGr  
(or such) while pressing other keys – and it works to enter C-q  
<octal value> <some non-digit>. By changing read-quoted-char-radix  
(this can be done via the customisation interface) to be 16 you can  
insert any Unicode character by its number.
