It seems that the init file's encoding plays the leading role: GNU  
Emacs obviously needs to assume it's UTF-8 encoded. Using this or  
that ISO Latin encoding in the file's header (coding: iso-8859-15;)  
disables a setting like (global-set-key [?\C-©]	'global-set-key).  
With non-Latin encoding even GNU Emacs 21.3.50 understands the key  
binding ...
