> Today I learned from [this video

> exact explanation) of this feature that you can type C-q, followed by
> the octal(or, if configured, decimal or hexadecimal) unicode codepoint,
> followed by a non-digit key, to insert the appropriate unicode character.

> However, for some reason, these typed codepoints do not show up in the
