|Is it possible to have 8 bit characters in a (La)TeX file?
|
|For example, can some character with the 8th bit set be used to represent
|the sequence \'e (e with acute accent).

Yes, in TeX 3.0.

(Please don't mail me asking where to get it. It's being tested by
various people and will be announced in the fullness of time.)
