Unicode. In my case I input them in vim by way of vimperator. You can input them in vim using the digraph feature (try <C-K>11 in insert mode).

My vimrc actually parses my ~/.inputrc to extract the keybindings I use to input Unicode characters in bash and every other program that uses readline, allowing me to use the same keys for Unicode chars in every context that I input text.
