How to input special German and French characters in emacs
11 April 2014
I'm using C-x 8 to input special characters from German and French. I will update this page when I find new easy way to input these characters.
C-x 8 RET (translated from C-x 8 <return>) runs the command insert-char, which is an interactive built-in function in `C source code'.
1 German:
- ä
- C-x 8 "a
- ö
- C-x 8 "o
- ü
- C-x 8 "u
- ß
- C-x 8 "s
2 French：
- à
