Re: Inputting characters with specialist diacritic marks in emacs

[Alan]

I originally started using Emacs over 25 years ago, for precisely the reason 
that it was easy to find documentation on how to type diacritical marks. 

I no longer have the older .emacs files, but I used single character 
abbreviations.  It was very fast to type, even faster than the \C-x8...  
method.  I now use the latter, because it's easier to remember.  In my .emacs 
file was a list of abbrevs.  

If I had a specific set of characters that I needed often today, I would think 
again about using abbrevs. I'm sorry I cannot provide more specific information.
