In emacs 28 if you know the codepoint(s) you can enter them with
'C-x 8 RET <codepoint>' and they'll display properly. The emacs-29 support for
entering them that youʼre talking about will likely be available as a
package for emacs-28 at some point.

Theyʼre all unicode codepoints and emacs versions previous to 28 could
read them fine. The only thing that happened in emacs-28 is that their
display changed :-)
