Hi Sian,
Holding down the compose key is what you're doing wrong. Just press
and release it before typing your compose sequence.
It's also worth noting that the compose sequences in Debian work only
one order, i.e. "Compose ^ c" works but "Compose c ^" doesn't (unlike
at least some versions of Unix which work in either order).
