One way that used to be done, was by setting up a "compose" key in the
keyboard preferences. Then, to make special characters, you'd type your
compose key, then type the other characters that looked like the
character that you wanted to create. ("Type" as in type one key after
another, not hold all the keys down at the same time.)
e.g. compose a e would produce æ
compose a ` would produce à
compose a ' would produce á
compose a " would produce ä
You could do most of the obvious characters that way, though a few
always elude me. Like how to type the degrees symbol.
I don't know if it's still done that way, I'm not using the latest
release of Fedora.
