To define those mappings, you should first have made sure that
'encoding' has already been set to UTF-8 if the current Vim version
supports it. How to do so can be explained, but it falls outside the
scope of the present reply.
Then you should define them has follows:
if has('multi_byte')
map <A-s> <Char-0x0282>
" LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH HOOK
map <A-z> <Char-0x0290>
" LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH RETROFLEX HOOK
map <A-r> <Char-0x027D>
" LATIN SMALL LETTER R WITH TAIL
endif
Notes:
- It might be better to define these in a keymap, or by using lmap
rather than map. The keymap, if used, should have utf-8 in its name, for
instance keymap/imaginarylanguage_utf-8.vim. In a keymap, after the
"loadkeymap" line, the lines you wrote are correct, but they would
benefit by a comment at the end.
- Instead of :map, you might want :map!, :imap, etc., see ":help
map-overview"
- In Vim, Alt-r, Alt-s, Alt-z are respectively synonymous with ò LATIN
SMALL LETTER O WITH GRAVE, ó LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH ACUTE, and ú
LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH ACUTE, so if you need these it's a bad idea to
use Alt-r Alt-s and Alt-z for the {lhs} of a mapping except in a keymap
or lmap (which can be turned on and off at any moment).
