on my distro (opensuse Tumbleweed) compose tables and the definition
of the compose key can be found here:

$ ls /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/legacy/include/
compose.8859_7      compose.latin       compose.latin1.cedilla
compose.latin4     compose.winkeys
compose.8859_8      compose.latin1      compose.latin2
compose.shiftctrl  disable.capslock
compose.ctrlperiod  compose.latin1.add  compose.latin3
compose.utf8       vim-compose.latin1

So one can configure the compose key by running "loadkeys
compose.shiftctrl" for example and the same can be done to pick up a
compose table.

It doesn't seem a bad idea to extend /etc/vconsole.conf so it's done
automatically at boot.
