  • That doesn't seem to work for me using xorg server 1.17.4 on Gentoo. I used exactly the contents above, started a new terminal, used the compose key, and pi didn't show up. Commented Oct 15, 2016 at 23:11

    @PavelŠimerda Sorry to post on an old comment. Did you reload your DE/DM (there might be a more elegant way to do it, but I am not aware of it; as far as I know X is the one handling the Compose bindings). Commented Mar 14, 2017 at 14:34

    @omninonsense My only problem was that I used .Xcompose instead of .XCompose. Reloading Xorg or WM is not necessary, it's read at the start of a client, i.e. a web browser or a console. Thanks! Commented Feb 18, 2018 at 19:55
  • See also this answer about what needs restarting. ibus restart worked perfectly in Ubuntu Mate 22.04. We should have a campaign to get COMPOSE-p-i added, which seems considerably more useful than COMPOSE-p-o-o. Commented Mar 18 at 8:17
