;;; Commentary:

;; Provides an input method for entering characters by hex unicode in
;; the form `uxxxx', similarly to the Yudit editor.

;; This is not really a Quail method, but uses some Quail functions.
;; There is probably A Better Way.

;; You can get a similar effect by using C-q with
;; `read-quoted-char-radix' set to 16.

;; Note that this only allows you to enter BMP values unless someone
;; extends it to use variable numbers of digits.

;;; Code:
