Thank you *very* much for this pointer!

Unfortunately, my Android Emacs segfaults now (can't test it) and
while typing in a note taking app works quite fine, simple
characters like =AB!=BB do not work in ConnectBot/vim :-(

I have to invest some time in this tool. Probably I might be able to
get it to work.
