Yes, but I was referring to the digraphs used in postscript metrics files,
e.g.:

ha  606,740 2   0000    -- asciicircum
ti  606,319 0   0001    -- asciitilde
vS  498,927,13  2   0002    -- Scaron
vZ  480,927 2   0003    -- Zcaron
vs  388,764,13  2   0004    -- scaron
vz  425,764 2   0005    -- zcaron

I guess the expected way to call these 8bit chars is \(<digraph>, say \(vS,
but \[vS] works equally well; perhaps this is an unexpected side-effect?
