I can type ö by pressing AltGr+[, then letting go, then pressing 'o'.
If you press AltGr+[ twice then it will show you just the combining
character it'll add, eg: ¨.
There's lots of other combining and otherwise useful characters around
that area of the keyboard you can use with AltGr or AltGr+Shift. Unlike
any other key combination, you have to hold AltGr first, then Shift -
you can't hold Shift first.
AltGr+; e = é
AltGr+Shift+0 = °
You can enter any Unicode code-point (in most programs) by pressing
Ctrl+Shift+U then typing the Unicode code-point number in hex.
For Ø or ø you can use U+00D8 or U+00F8. (You don't need to type the
leading zeros.)

Hi can anyone advise how I get foreign (Norwegian) variants of letters
in UK linux? I need the o with two dots and the o with a line through
it. Of course it could be a limitation of my family history program
(Gramps) that it doesn't like Alt 0248.
Cheers Peter
