I bet that would work if I could find the compose key!
On Sun workstation keyboards the <compose> key is two keys to the
right of the space bar. I believe the xmodmap program can be used to
map another key to the function of the <compose> key on keyboards
which lack a dedicated key.
If <compose> is available or can be configured into your keyboard
handling, it is exceedingly useful. I've appended below a table of
characters which can be created with the <compose> key. The columns
represent:
- HTML coding for the character,
- octal encoding in the iso-8850-1 character set,
- hex encoding in the iso-8850-1 character set,
- the combination of characters used with the <compose> key to
produce the character on the screen and in the LyX document,
- an 8-bit representation of the character inside parentheses,
- a description of the character.
