</span>It is a pity I suppose - Compose is exactly the place where combining<br>
characters are likely to be needed.<br>
<br>
I (personally) also find combining characters more natural to use than<br>
dead keys, typing the diacritic after the base character instead of<br>
before it (Dead key: ~ + A -> Ã, Combining character: A + U0303 -> Ã).<br>
<br>
For X/libX11 this is most likely will never be supported, but might be<br>
supported in Wayland where there are some extensions to XKB for this<br>
use case.<br>
<br>
All of this said, did you try simply omitting the keysym part, leaving<br>
only the string part, and found it insufficient? In the<br>
en_US.UTF-8/Compose file, I see many lines which do not specify a<br>
keysym, only a string. And from a quick test, xterm and GTK applications<br>
both use the string over the keysym. So maybe that's true for all of the<br>
applications you care about.<br>

</span>My guess is that precomposed characters are for backward compatibility<br>
only and new ones will not be added.<br>
