For those who may need to use the infamous ñ just add the line

Option        "XkbOptions" "compose:lwin"

in the "Input Device" Section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. More infor can 
be found here:

I cannot believe that I just learned about this feature. For the longest time 
I have been remapping my keyboard to be able to use that single character 
amongst a few others.  The irony is that I used to be an Apple user since  
the good old MacIntosh System 6 days. One of the features I have always 
missed and always bragged about was this very same capability. It was always 
there, I just did not know. Oh well, now I do. I can't wait to exploit my 
newly acquired knowledge. I will write a letter to mommy and tell her all 
about it!
