Sun and said:
my question is about entering the UTF8-values that are not mapped
directly to keys. For example, in en_US.UTF-8/Compose, there are
entries that look like this:
<Multi_key> <U10002208> <U10000338> : "?" U2209
What do I enter -- what key sequence -- generates this?
You probably don't have those keys on your keyboard. A bunch of the
combinations in this file are for Greek, Russian, Korean, Chinese, and
Japanese keyboards. It might be possible to do something with XKB to
map keys you do have to those keys, but XKB is the world's most awesome
mess and its HOWTO was badly translated. The easiest approach might be
to add your own mappings somewhere if you need this keysym often.
is there a combination that allows me to enter arbitrary UTF-8 code
points, such as Compose + # + 2 + 2 + 0 + 9, or some such?
If there is, I don't know what it is. Maybe a better X guru will show
up and inform us. HTH anyway,

He wasn't there again today -- I think he's from the CIA.
