Right, I amended the relevant documentation, and I'm closing this bug
report.

Thanks.

Before starting emacs with -nw -Q I type unicode x107 character
with AltGr-c. In emacs it does not work, despite doing
set-keyboard-coding-system cp852

It works only in emacs 22.3.1, not in 23, 24 nor in current repo.
I can see the character if I enter it using polish-slash method (/c).
In this old emacs it works out of the box, with pure -nw.

In current emacs AltGr-c is translated into C-g. Similar
simplifications happen to other right alt combination, that
should give me Polish characters.
