The single method is already described as below:

------------------------------------------------------------
@example
(global-set-key address@hidden 'some-function)
@end example

@noindent
Type @kbd{C-q} followed by the key you want to bind, to insert @var{char}.
------------------------------------------------------------

In a normal case, C-q KEY inserts a multibyte character, and
in the above special cases, it inserts a unibyte character,
thus it should work in both cases.
