I believe what you are looking for may be the Compose Key. Here are a couple references but a search will turn up more, I'm certain.

My locale is set to LANG=en_US.UTF-8. I write primarily in text-based

My web searches have not been productive, probably because I'm not using the
appropriate search terms.

If there's a document I can read and use as a reference please point me to
it.
