are Swedish and Finnish keyboards different?

Though I may be able to input them by some neither can I (for most ISO-8859-1 characters). I usually just hit Compose key and some combination vaguely resembling the char and hope for the best - often it takes several tries to get the correct one. I can enter Slovak characters easily, but I had to write my own xkb map (standard one included in xfree86 was just unusable). Btw is it possible (with xkb) to do something like per-map dead keys compose? e.g. when I hit the dead key (dead_acute) with a vowel, I get accented vowel correctly, but I want (e.g.) the combination <dead_acute>s to yield LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH CARON. And similarly for other combinations. I know I can hack up my own compose map, but: 1) that would mess up with other keyboard layouts 2) I want to retain <Compose><s><key for acute> to yield LATIN SMALL LETTER S WITH ACUTE > settings, I don't know how. It is just as average European people > don't know how to input Kanji. I would love to. Perhaps it would not be bad to write a compose map providing <compose><k><t><a> to yield KATAKANA LETTER TA and <compose><h><t><a> HIRAGANA LETTER TA.
