Answer 1

There is an insert-char function called via Cx 8 RET. It converts one character to 043D. Based on it, you can write a function with a loop to convert all characters of the selection. And if in a simple way, then in a couple of minutes a macro is recorded that converts one character, and then this macro can be run both one character at a time and with the Alt-0 argument (you enter the text into a separate buffer).
