It is perhaps worth pointing out that in Plan 9
(and in Plan 9 from User Space), Alt is just a
key like any other, not a modifier like Shift:
you don't have to hold it down through the entire
sequence.  It is also perhaps worth pointing out
that the letter must be a capital X.

So you can type Alt, X, 2, 6, 3, a to get ☺.
