By number? Maybe I missed it- can they already? Otherwise entry would
be dependent on there being a composition defined for the character,
which is not a given. And if you're working with some
once-in-a-blue-moon legacy charset, it might be much easier to look up
the char code in a code table in front of you than learn the
compositions, probably depending on how visually-minded you are.
Of course they could if C-x 8 was expanded with a means to enter
numeric codes. :-)
