Press keys compose,O,/ one after one. These compose keysequences
are given in Xfig manual, for example, in my redhat, at
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xfig/html/drawing-mode.html#compose-char
but of course they should work in all X applications. Compose key is
often right-ctrl but it might be configured to someting else too. Or maybe
you're lucky enough to have a keyboard with an actual key labelled as
compose (as in Sun keyboards).
