I wanted to insert the character § into #Emacs without pasting.
A quick search turned up `insert-char` and that works great!
I can M-x insert-char and I can type a subset of the name of the unicode character to find what I want.
In this case: M-x insert-char section sign

@shapr If I'm on linux I usually try the compose key a few times before giving up. Still undecided if the whole compose key idea is a good one, I can waste a lot of time guessing what the "intuitive" sequence is for a character. This is often futile, for example, someone decided that .= is a bullet • character. It took me a while to see the connection. On the other hand it only took a few guesses to find compose-s-o for §.
