    Like, man, do you mean characters as a 'concept' or as a manifestation
    of a real, physical language?

|  |     Well, I don't know about DECwindows supporting metacharacters, but
    Monty is one of the biggest metacharacters I know (see his last note),
    and *he* supports DECwindows, so the other way around is certainly
    true.

Note 602 (about the Meta key in Emacs) might answer your question.

    Whoa, Jon, you can't try to commute me with that operator.  I live in
    Cambridge and that's enough commuting already.

|  | Compose is usually modifier to the ALT key modifier.  However using xmodmap
(under Ultrix) you can change Compose to be a META key modifier.
xmodmap "keycode 0xb1 = Meta_L"
I have this in .X11Startup
