If you use the character map utility to find the character you want, copying and pasting it into vi will insert a unicode character. If you set up your keyboard, you can use various key combinations to directly enter in characters that you want to use. For instance, I set my right Windows key to be the compose key, and to enter something like the æ ligature I press the Windows key, then the a key, then the e key. And if you know the number of the unicode character that you want to use, there's ways to enter them in that way, as well. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
