This is screwed up. In uxterm running bash with LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8, I *can* get per mille, but not aogonek, using the compose sequences you indicated.

This is very frustrating and confusing, and unfortunately appears to be a bit beyond my skills to debug. -- G. Branden Robinson | Somebody once asked me if I thought Debian GNU/Linux | sex was dirty.
