Unicode feature requests for next version

[Sam Vilain]

Hi all,

Would it be possible to get a hotkey bound to ucs-insert?  I'm thinking 
C-# would be a good candidate.

Also, It would be nice if the information you get from M-x 
describe-char-after would display the Unicode code point in hex.  
Perhaps even the info from C-u C-x = (or a Unicode equivalent suitably 
easily located).

One more thing, if I am in a UTF-8 language environment, then cutting 
and pasting from other X apps should really try to find a codepoint from 
Unicode to insert, rather than some other mule character set.  Right 
now, eg if I cut and paste from Firefox I tend to get iso-2202-jp (IIRC) 
double-width characters when I paste in some unicode characters.

Perhaps these things have been solved already in CVS emacs?

Sam.
