entering ASCII values

entering ASCII values

Hi all.

Is it possible to enter ASCII values in gnu/linux? For example, say I
want to enter a small a, but I want to specifically enter it as ASCII
97, rather then typing it on the keyboard. Is this possible, and if
so, then how? In DOS, you could do this by holding one of the alt
keys, while typing the value on the number row at the top of the
keyboard, and then letting the alt key go. I tried the same in
gnu/linux in vi and emacs, but it doesn't seem to work. Thanks in
advance for any help.

Greg

Sure does, you have to turn on the numlock key hold down the left alt
and enter the octal value on the number pad.  Don't forget to turn the
numlock back off before hitting any other keys.

i'm quite sure there's a way to do this in vi but unfortunately I don't 
remember how. It seems to me that Dave Mielke told me or somebody on a 
list how to do this at one point but it's been years ago so I could be 
wrong.
