  :help digraphs

will reveal that you type Ctrl-K followed by two characters, vim will
insert an appropriate character.  For example, the sequence 'Ctrl-K A >'
will give you 'Å'.

  :digraphs 

gives you a list.  You can define your own.

You can also set the 'digraph' option, which allows you to use the
backspace key: 'A Backspace >' will also give you 'Å', in that case.

Alternately, you can use Ctrl-V to enter a character by numeric value.

pls
