Right, I oversaw this, but then I propose to include it in
french-postfix/prefix

Hm this does not work well in emacs21 (I have 22 on anther Laptop) ,
latin-postfix does not exist only latin-[1-9]-postfix. Latin9-postfix
for some bizarre reason gives 2 symbols ø and œ

In any case when using the x-symbol approach it indeed does 
generate it without problems and C-u C-x = gives me the following two results


--8<------------------------schnipp------------------------->8---
  character: ø (07570, 3960, 0xf78)
