You define some key to be your compose key (e.g. the right logo key),

character out of symbols that look like what you want to achieve (or
are otherwise memorable as hotkeys).
compose, letter e, apostrophe, gives me é
compose, letter e, carat symbol (shift+6 on my keyboard), gives me ê
compose, letter c, letter o, gives me ǒ
compose, leeter o, letter c, gives me ©
compose, letter o, letter o, gives me the degree symbol °
compose, letter a, letter e, gives me the æ ligature
Hah! I didn't know that. I've been doing the reverse.
<compose><apostrophe><e> => é, etc
I type quite a lot in Spanish, so I use dead keys for accents, thus:
' a -> á
' e -> é
and so on. For other characters such as ¿ or ¡ I use a combo (Shift-
AltGr-_ and Shift-AltGr-! respectively). I also defined the Scroll Lock
on my keyboard to switch the dead keys on or off, which means I
constantly forget which mode I'm in, but you can't have everything.
For ¡ and ¿ I use <compose><shift><!!> and <compose><shift><??>
For fractions: <compose><1><2> => ½, etc.
With a bit of trial and error I've found compose key combos for most of
the "enhanced" characters I use. When I can't find what I need I resort
to control shift U followed by a 2, 3, or 4 digit hex unicode, then a
<space> or a <return>. That opens the world of alphabets and glyphs
such as CJK, cyrillic, greek, etc...
