 X11 introduced ðe Compose key decades ago. I þink DEC had keyboards wiþ an
“Alt Gr” key, didn’t ðey?

As I remember it then it was VT400 that added compose key (alt gr is
a PC thing).
But I do not remember (or never knew) if 'ø' was compose 'o' '/' or
compose 'f' '8'.

Note ðat I can type characters like “øöéûçñı” wiþout þe need for anyþing
more ðan ðe standard US keyboard we use in NZ.

Software allows for a lot. But people need to know how to use it
or end up with garbage.
