I've noticed that in many keyboards Ctl-. (Ctl + decimal point) is
defined as the Compose character. Try to enter the รจ as:
Ctl-. e ` or reversed: Ctl-. ` e
If necessary, it's possible to define another character as Compose (or,
more 'modern', as MultiKey). I think this is even easier that ERT, and
the character appears as such on the screen.
