Bind 'œ' key to '`'

Question

How would you bind the useless œ (or 2-square) key from azerty keywords to enter ` (backtick, backquote, or however you want to call the symbol needed for code blocks in markdown) ?

My problems are :

• I am not sure know how to express this key as a (kbd ...) form
• I don't know how to express "insert this char".

This does NOT work :

(global-set-key (kbd "œ") (lambda () (insert "`")))
(global-set-key (kbd "œ") '(lambda () (insert "`")))
(global-set-key (kbd "œ") '(insert "`")))

Answer 1

You can find out which key Emacs thinks œ is by hitting C-h k œ.

When you want a key simply to enter a string, you can just tell it to do so without invoking a function. Hence, this binding should work, assuming the "œ" part is correct:

(global-set-key "œ" "`")

You may have to replace the "œ" part with whatever Emacs thinks that key is.
