Re: How to map non printing characters in mim file?

[David Mandelberg]

It's been a while since I've looked at any m17n stuff, but I think this 
is the specification I learned from: 
https://www.nongnu.org/m17n/manual-en/m17nDBFormat.html#mdbIM

From INPUT-METHOD, I think I followed the definitions to (in order) 
MAP-LIST, MAP, RULE, MAP-ACTION, ACTION, INSERT, then finally INTEGER. 
The top of the page shows the format for INTEGER, and I think I just 
assumed inserting an INTEGER would mean inserting that Unicode code point.
