nomnex,

You can use the compose command and set it up in ~/.bashrc 
Add a line

setxkbmap -option compose:ralt &

save it and when you ready to compose you use the [right alt key]
+ the keys of characters you want to compose.  

For instance to put a n with a tilde ~, you use [ralt] + ~ then the n and you get ñ , for a an a with an accent á , etc

See

for more details.
