1 The unicode characters in this file are encoded
as UTF-8.
2 These Alt codes are
for the Windows-1252
code page,
not unicode.
Press and hold down the Alt key while typing the digits on the numeric keypad
(not the digits in the top row of the keyboard).
On laptops you may need to hit the NmLk or NumLock key
and then use the "789 uio jkl m" special keys.
When you release the Alt key the correct character should appear.
The euro symbol and the curved quotes are different in unicode and Windows-1252.
3 Microsoft's US International Keyboard
4 Use the KDE control panel
to set a Compose key.
5 The vim enc=utf-8 doesn't seem to work quite right.
Or, more likeley, I don't understand it.
I was getting somewhat different characters
for the o and u umlaut.
You can use Ctrl-k P A to get the Windows-1252 version
of the euro symbol in your file.
You can then use win2utf
to encode it
as though it had been unicode all along.
The curved lower double quotes would be Ctrl-k I N,
and the other curved quote would be Ctrl-k T S.
Or you can try entering the unicode directly
with ^vuhhhh
where hhhh are the hex digits.
e.g. ^vu20ac for €.
In Gnome applications try Ctrl+Shift+Unicode hex digits. I have yet to get this to work (with gedit anyway). Supposedly this is one ISO 14755 compliant key sequence.
