by listing each of the characters within the square brackets that

! Language and encoding settings can be a reason for failing key
! binding. For instance, say you have put the following in your init
! file:
!
! @example
! (global-set-key [?\M-ö] 'shell)
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! Now it can happen that the ö character read from the keyboard is
! actually different from the ö character read from your init file, even
! though they look the same. In this case, Emacs will not do what you
! intended. First you should check whether they are the same or
! different. In the above example, you would position point (the cursor)
! on the ö character and hit @kbd{C-u C-x =} (the @kbd{C-u} part is
! important). The second line of the output will contain the charset.
! Now hit the ö key and position point on the character thus produced.
! Again, hit @kbd{C-u C-x =}. If the two charsets are different, then you
! have found the problem. The solution involves putting a `coding cookie'
! in your init file, @pxref{File Variables}. For example, suppose that
! the ö character from the init file has charset latin-iso8859-1 whereas
! the ö character from the keyboard has charset latin-iso8859-15. The
! solution is to put a coding cookie into the first line of the
! @file{.emacs} file, as follows:
!
! @example
! ;; -*- coding: iso8859-15; -*-
! @end example
!
! @noindent
! @xref{Non-ASCII Rebinding}, if the charset printed by @kbd{C-u C-x =} is
! `eight-bit-graphic'.
!
! If the variable @code{keyboard-coding-system} is nil, it is probably
! best to set it to the right value, according to the locale you work in.

Type @kbd{C-q} followed by the key you want to bind, to insert @var{char}.
! If you don't specify the keyboard coding system, that approach won't
work. Instead, you need to find out the actual code that the terminal
! sends. The easiest way to do this in Emacs is to create an empty buffer
! with @kbd{C-x b temp @key{RET}}, make it unibyte with @kbd{M-x
toggle-enable-multibyte-characters @key{RET}}, then type the key to
insert the character into this buffer.

Type @kbd{C-q} followed by the key you want to bind, to insert @var{char}.
! Since this puts a non-ASCII character in the @file{.emacs}, you should
! specify the proper coding system for that file. @xref{Init Syntax}.
! Specify the same coding system for the file that you use for your
! keyboard.
