Compose " y = ÿ
Compose ^ c = ĉ
etc.
I have Compose mapped to the Caps Lock, CAPS LOCK is both shift, either cancels.
The only non-standard thing I added was a table of Compose g <lowercase> and Compose G <uppercase> for the complete Greek alphabet. Obviously Cyrillic could be added simply. There is a standard layout, or you can use the transliterated keys.
I keep meaning to remap AltGr Z and Alt Gr X as they are < and > and would be more usefully prime and double prime. The AltGr z and Alt Gr x is « and ».
