Just to give an additional option which no one else seems to have used:
If you map a key to Multi_key, and have ~/.XCompose (or your system-wide
compose file) suitably filled out, you can type Multi_key . . . to
generate ….
<Multi_key> <period> <period> <period> : "…" U2026 # HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
The advantage of using XCompose is that many of the keybindings actually
make some sort of logical sense, like multi+<+3 makes ♥.
