;;; Commentary:

;; Loading this package defines three ways of entering the non-ASCII
;; printable characters with codes above 127: the prefix C-x 8, or the
;; Alt key, or a dead accent key.  For example, you can enter uppercase
;; A-umlaut as `C-x 8 " A' or `Alt-" A' (if you have an Alt key) or
;; `umlaut A' (if you have an umlaut/diaeresis key).

;; This package supports all characters defined by ISO 8859-1, along
;; with a few other ISO 10646 characters commonly used in English and
;; basic math.
