1385    For Latin-1 only, you can use the key @kbd{C-x 8} as a ``compose
1386    character'' prefix for entry of non-@acronym{ASCII} Latin-1 printing
1387    characters.  @kbd{C-x 8} is good for insertion (in the minibuffer as
1388    well as other buffers), for searching, and in any other context where
1389    a key sequence is allowed.
1390    
1391    @kbd{C-x 8} works by loading the @code{iso-transl} library.  Once that
1392    library is loaded, the @key{ALT} modifier key, if the keyboard has
1393    one, serves the same purpose as @kbd{C-x 8}: use @key{ALT} together
1394    with an accent character to modify the following letter.  In addition,
1395    if the keyboard has keys for the Latin-1 ``dead accent characters,''
1396    they too are defined to compose with the following character, once
1397    @code{iso-transl} is loaded.
1398    
1399    Use @kbd{C-x 8 C-h} to list all the available @kbd{C-x 8} translations.
