Try Oak Hill Vi.  Its manual says:

        While in the input mode, you may enter any ASCII character into
        your text by holding down the <alt> key and entering the decimal
        value of the character from the number keypad portion of the
        keyboard.  For example pressing <alt>128 and then releasing the
        <alt> key will produce the character Ђ.  If you are typing in a
        language other than English you may have frequent need for some of
        these characters.  They may be mapped with the ":map!" command into
        function key or other keystroke combinations that you find useful.
        For example, the command sequence

Perhaps, you could add Genman-specific mapping for insert mode via :map!
in that editor.
