I'm no expert on this topic.  But I think Chaper 22.3 Input
Methords and the next few ones of the Emacs Manual would help.
There are various input methods for various languages.

Another way of dealing with the problem is to configure the
keyboard.  I have configured the Caps Lock key to function as a
compose key in /etc/default/keyboard like so:

# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="apple_laptop"
#or "macbook79"
XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT="mac_nodeadkeys"
XKBOPTIONS="compose:caps,lv3:rwin_switch,eurosign:e,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

BACKSPACE="guess"



Ciao, Gregor
