I could of course suggest for unicde to add them as precomposed charahcters, but would it not be much more easy if XKB could handle combinations too? Then we don't need to create new unicde characters every time we want to add a new combinations of tones.. </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">2016-02-04 13:37 GMT+01:00 Ran Benita <<a href="mailto:ran234@gmail.com" target="_blank">ran234@gmail.com</a>>: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Tue, Jan 19, 2016 at 01:16:40AM +0100, Mats Blakstad wrote: > I've opened this ticket: > <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93660" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93660</a> > > I need some feedback to be able to upload a final verion! > > How should the composer be formatted.

The unicode character you quote is using combining characters[1], which are not supported in the Compose format/XKB implemented in libX11, unfortunately. So, you cannot specify something like "U+0190U+0303U+0301" in the <keysym> part, only a single keysym/unicode codepoint [1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combining_character" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combining_character</a> Your options are: 1. Use a precomposed character[2] instead of the combining characters. This doesn't always exist, I didn't check for the above. If one exists, this is the best option. 2. Omit the keysym part. Some programs only use the string part, so this might work well for you, but programs which want the keysym result won't have it.
