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 =C3=B6, you would type '\ " o' (without the single quotes) a= nd 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. --=20 : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4.201.g82108.dirty)
