I added a new unicode input mode: emacs. (see also: PR in the main qmk branch: qmk#16949)
While strictly not an operating system, inserting unicode characters in emacs has its own keybinding. The most usual way is
C-x-8 RET
followed by the unicode in hex. As a person who works across different OSes but with the constant being emacs, this was the most straightforward way forwards.Of course, the main credit goes to TrentinQuarantino in this emacs stack exchange post.
Description
I added a new unicode input mode in
quantum/process_unicode_common.(c|h)
. Then I updated all the programmer friendly numbers of the enums, and added documentation too.Types of Changes

Additional notes
I'm unfamiliar with the testing protocols of this project. If I could get some help that'd be great. I'm reasonably familiar with C. However, what I have done is I have flashed two ergodox-EZs with this and tested it on emacs on both linux and macos. My Windows computer isn't quite available right now, so I'm unable to test on Windows.
