Another approach is to change the input method to tex (C-u C-\ tex RET)
which then allows you to type in utf characters using tex (or latex?)
escape sequences. This is quite useful, especially if you are writing
latex documents in any case so are up to speed with latex command...
So, to type in ö, you would type '\ " o' (without the single quotes) and
you would get what you want. You also get TAB completion in this mode
so that typing in '\ " TAB' would show you all the valid characters that
can be defined by starting with \".
Further, you can use describe-input-method to see information about what
the input method provides and, in the case of tex, you get all the
relevant character sequences that the mode understands.
