I have¹ the following in my ~/.profile:

 setxkbmap dk -option compose:menu


You might want to enable it globally in /etc/default/keyboard instead.
Documentation: https://pkg-xorg.alioth.debian.org/howto/configure-input.html#_basic_keyboard_configuration

BTW, does anybody know why only some compose sequences work on the Linuxconsole, and how can I fix it? For example, menu+a+apostrophe (á) works,but menu+dot+dot (…) doesn't.
