C-x 8 _ is already occupied by the two characters FEMININE
ORDINAL INDICATOR and MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR, which I didn't know
existed before now and could easily do without.


These are needed in some larger parts of the world where French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, or Brazilian is spoken...

You can also use C-q <depending on the base used a HEX or DEC or OCT value><SPC, RET, ESC, cursor movement to end>.

Some X servers allow to compose a character by either a compose sequence or the basic character+dead modifier. You could also modify GNU Emacs' keyboard map to self-insert these characters by pressing particular key combinations.
