Works here (on Arch, but I used the same on FreeBSD and Debian) with this
in my .xinitrc:
9 mklatinkbd -x $PLAN9/lib/keyboard >$HOME/.XCompose
xmodmap -e 'keycode 108 = Multi_key'
# for GNOME and QT programs, add
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
# https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/39547/dead-compose-keys-not-working-in-gtk-apps-since-upgrade/65755#65755
export XMODIFIERS=@im=none
Typing ALT, X, four hexadecimal digits works in Acme but not in
Firefox for example. The shorthands listed in
$PLAN9/lib/keyboard do.
Mark.
