The Soviets didn?t have much to do with Macedonian; as far as I can work
out, our lack of support for Gje is our mistake.

Basically, what Stephen said. Adding the following to your ~/.xemacs/init.el
will make character input work for those characters in your list that are
available in 21.4, but you?ll need East Asian fonts. 

(loop for (keysym character) in 
  (list (list 'leftdoublequotemark (make-char 'japanese-jisx0208 33 72))
	(list 'rightdoublequotemark (make-char 'japanese-jisx0208 33 73))
	(list 'endash (make-char 'chinese-big5-1 33 55))
	(list 'emdash (make-char 'chinese-big5-1 33 57))
	(list 'Macedonia_gje (make-char 'cyrillic-iso8859-5 115)))
  do 
  (put keysym 'ascii-character character)
  (define-key global-map keysym 'self-insert-command))
