Appendix D in the 4.0 manual, "The Macintosh Character Set" documents
this feature succinctly. It is indexed under "Character set/finding
character by number" and also under "Searching" and "Macintosh character
set" and "character formatting/keyboard procedures" and referenced under
"finding"; in addition there is reference to it on p.58 under "finding
or replacing with special characters." These may not be the places that
we'd all have listed the feature, but it's a broad range. Sometimes,
alas, it helps to thumb through the manual merely to see how the writers
put the thing together. Often the appendices will contain just the kind of
information you're looking for but don't know how to find in the index.
