-For Latin-1 only, you can use the

-non-@acronym{ASCII} Latin-1 printing characters.  @kbd{C-x 8} is good for
-insertion (in the minibuffer as well as other buffers), for searching,

-@kbd{C-x 8} works by loading the @code{iso-transl} library.  Once that
-library is loaded, the @key{ALT} modifier key, if you have one, serves
-the same purpose as @kbd{C-x 8}; use @key{ALT} together with an accent
-character to modify the following letter.  In addition, if you have keys
-for the Latin-1 ``dead accent characters,'' they too are defined to
-compose with the following character, once @code{iso-transl} is loaded.
-Use @kbd{C-x 8 C-h} to list the available translations as mnemonic
-command names.
