[OS X Emacs] How to enter accented characters on US keyboard?

[Nathaniel Cunningham]

In Aquamacs, I've created a custom Option Key-->Meta & ___ capability, that
allows me to use Meta as usual, except for the case of the few
special/accented characters I want.  The following accomplishes this in my
Preferences.el:

(setq emulate-mac-keyboard-mode-maps
      (append emulate-mac-keyboard-mode-maps
          '((nathaniel . (("\M-A" . "Å")
                  ("\M-+" . "±")
                  ("\M-*" . "°")
                  ("\M-p" . "π")
                  ("\M-m" . "µ")
                  ("\M-," . "≤")
                  ("\M-." . "≥")
                  ("\M-j" . "∆"))))))
(define-emulate-mac-keyboard-modes)
(emulate-mac-nathaniel-keyboard-mode)
