vim-digraphs
A package implementing most of the digraphs from vim-digraphs, themselves taken from the RFC1345 mnemonics. To use, prepend the digraph with comma.
Example: The digraph for α is a*. Type ,a* to type α.

- The control characters from ASCII like Line Feed and Bell
- The control characters from Unicode like Padding Character and High Octet Preset
