I have a key that generates Multi_key, and that works in many apps
including Emacs.

Latin-9 is not the same as Latin-1 with Euro.  The two charsets
differ by six or seven characters.  The Euro is only the most
important one.  Also, Latin-9 does not have more characters than
Latin-1, just different ones.  For example, the Latin-1 "currency
sign" character (also known as dart or rocket) has been replaced with
Euro.
