In Mac OS X file names are saved as de-composed UTF-8, the name

"Ce<box>cile",
and the "box" itself is:
From Emacs's point of view (which currently doesn't include any
unicode
canonicalization or other equivalence between different unicode
representations of "the same" text), the file name is not "Cécile" but
"Ce¨cile".
OK, accepted. Typing Ce TAB indeed completes! (And now at daylight I
see my fault with ¨ instead of ´!)
Then there seems to be some need to type these accents more easily.
The COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT is described in GNU Emacs 22.0.50 as
character: (332481, #o1211301, #x512c1, U+0301)
so it obviously needs to by typed as C-q 0 1 2 1 1 3 0 1 ... a
lengthy action! In GNU Emacs 23.0.0 it's
character: (769, #o1401, #x301)
and seems to be more easily typed. Besides there is the variable read-
quoted-char-radix, when set to 16 it allows to input strange
characters as C-q <its hex code as of U+0301>.
Or is there something better, faster, easier to remember? And where
come these large numbers for a character in GNU Emacs 22.0.50 from ... ?
