Something simple like this might suit you?
Insert in your .jedrc:

%% At the prompt, enter a decimal code for a character and type
%% <enter> to have it inserted into the buffer.
define ins_char_for_keycode ()
{
   variable code = read_mini ("key code:", "", "");                                                 
   insert_char (integer (code));
}

define keybindings_hook (name)
{
   if (name == "emacs")
     {
        setkey_reserved ("ins_char_for_keycode", "c");
     }
}

With emacs emulation the function would then be invoked with
"ctrl-c c".

I would also point you to Günter Mildes "ch_table" from jedmodes:
