I have a patch that allows C-q (`quoted-insert') to read Unicode codes
and insert them using `ucs-insert' function. The usage is very simple,
it uses the same format as printed by `C-u C-x =' (i.e. the prefix `U'),
so `C-q' followed by `U' will insert the Unicode character:
C-q U42e RET
I can't submit the patch now due to the feature freeze. I will hold
it until the next release. I've also implemented more formats to
simplify input of characters in different radix without the need
to change the value of `read-quoted-char-radix'. The following
formats are supported:
octal: C-q 01212116 RET
decimal: C-q d332878 RET
hex: C-q x5144e RET

Are you talking about CVS Emacs or a released version?
In CVS, `describe-char-after' is renamed to `describe-char' (bound
to `C-u C-x =') and it displays the Unicode character code in hex.

In CVS Emacs I get correct Unicode characters copied from Firefox.
