The compose key is probably not on your keyoard, but you can bind it to
something like the windows menu key:
keysym Menu = Multi_key
The compose key lets you "compose" together letters and punctuation,
producing accented letters and other symbols. For example,
<compose> <a> <'> yeilds á
<compose> <a> <"> yeilds ä
<compose> <u> </> yeilds µ
<compose> <o> <^> yeilds ô
<compose> <?> <?> yeilds ¿
There are tons more useful symbols you can get at with compose: ß © ½
etc.
