\200 character

In trying to save the (describe-function xxxx) output to a file, I
found that several commands have non-ASCII characters in their help
text - html-mode, isearch-mode, sgml-mode, turkish-case-conversion-
enable and xml-mode.

For the xxx-mode commands, the non-ascii characters are displayed as :

1)  \200   (decimal value of 128)
 2) lowercase y with two dots over it.  (decimal value  2303)

e.g. for xml-mode you have a line with:

\200 .. { y with two dots over it } sgml-maybe-name-self

I am wondering what is the key combination that they are showing? That
is, how would I input \200 or y-with-two-dots from a standard
keyboard? Also, why are two dots shown separating the two characters?
