You can have actual Xcompose by running an X server and using xterm or
rxvt-unicode.

How do I enable that ? (doesn't work by default)

You need to select a compose key by using e.g. 'setxkbmap -option compose:rctrl' or XWin's -xkboption option.


Possibilities for the compose key seem to be: ralt, lwin, rwin, menu, lctrl, rctrl,caps

Obviously, this only affects input into X applications.
