Wikipedia is your friend: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key

It is quite easy to define a compose key (if your distribution
has not set up a key for you). You don't need to change your x.org
config file. You can change the keys with the setxkbmap tool or a GUI
frontend like the KDE Keyboard Tool kxkb:
