Perhaps some readers may not know what the compose key is good for.
Using compose plus
two other key-strokes, will get you just about all the diacritical
marks used in most European languages,
common fractions, currency symbols, degree signs and other things I
can't think of. And they're all
simple to do, without trying to memorize obscure codes. For
instance, Spanish: ¿ ¡ señor, tío: German: Straße,
Fräulein; French: hôtel, françoise; épinards; Italian: è; ½, ¾ 75°:
€30, £40, 50¥, 10¢. Just combine the letter
with a symbol, or in some cases, just type the letter twice, and voilà!
Plus, you can put your own in ~/.XCompose:
<Multi_key> <less> <3> : "❤️" U2764 # red
emoji heart
<Multi_key> <m> <m> : "𝔪" U1D4C2 #
mathematical script small m
