From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you have the compose key (mine is caps lock) it should be [compose]---
— At least, that's how I type it and it appears to be the same on gnome based on this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GtkComposeTable
Ah, thank you! You helped me understand how that chart works
EDIT: Hey thank you, that worked for the immediate challenge — and now I have a use for the caps lock key
I use the Menu key for my compose key, since I never used it for anything and it's conveniently right next to the right Ctrl key.
BTW if you want to see the combos that are possible with the Compose key, look in /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
Thanks!
