Reading the GNU Emacs Manual and found a couple sentances that have
something wrong with them.
In the 4.1 Inserting Text section
If the radix is greater than 10, some letters starting with `a' serve as
part of a character code, just like digits. ^
^
Not sure but it seems something is wrong here ---------------^ Maybe is
should be 'a'-'f'. Anyway it doesn't seem to read as I would think.
Instead of `C-q', you can use `C-x 8 <RET>' (`ucs-insert') to insert
a character based on its Unicode name or code-point. This commands
prompts for a character to insert, ...
The word commands should be command I believe. ^^^^^^^
