[vox-tech] a vim question (and german)

[Mark K. Kim]

Depends.  If you want to use UTF-8 to type it,

   :set encoding=utf8
   i (for insert mode)
   Ctrl-V u <4-digit hex number>

The 4-digit hex number is unicode, I think.  You'll need to look up the
number.  The codes are available at unicode.org.

If this document is for a program like LaTeX, then you'd use the normal
backslash codes, like \"o for o with two dots on top, IIRC.
