First, one[0] assigns a Multi_key if there is not one present.  I
usually use the right-Ctrl for this purpose.  By running xev in a
terminal and pushing that key, I see that that is keycode 105 on my
keyboard.  Your keyboard may be different, check.  Armed with this
information, one does "xmodmap -e 'keycode 105 = Multi_key' ".  Then one
looks in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose to see all the things
one can do.  One can, for instance, do Multi_key, = , then C, and get a
Euro sign.  Or one can do Multi_key, ' , then a vowel, and get that
vowel with an acute accent.

[0] One believes using "one" like this has jumped the 19th-century
English teacher shark.
