However, if (as is recommended) you set 'encoding' to "utf-8", you
have to use the proper Unicode codepoint. The florin symbol is not 192
decimal but 192 hex, and as you said, it is known by Unicode as
"U+0192 LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK [...] = Florin currency symbol
(Netherlands) [...]"

So you could enter it as Ctrl-V followed by u0192. This works for all
Unicode codepoints in the BMP (basic multilingual pane), i.e. U+0000
to U+FFFF (some of these, however, do not represent a character, and
for those which your keyboard knows about there is of course an easier
way). (Actually, in Vim, codepoint zero is represented internally as
0x10, the linefeed code; to enter an actual linefeed in a file you
have to break the line).

Best regards,
Tony.
