Appendix C Compose Key Sequences
If you are using the standard ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) code
set you can produce all characters by pressing the Compose key followed by
other keys. These compose key sequences are listed in Table C–1.
Note –
ISO Latin-1 does not support the character for the Euro currency
symbol (see Euro Currency Symbol).
On a SPARC keyboard, pressing the Compose key should illuminate the
light on the key. On an IA keyboard, the Compose key is Control-Shift-F1 (hold
the Control and Shift keys down and press the F1 key).

Note –
Localized keyboards do not all generate the same key codes for
ISO Latin-1 characters. However, system translation tables take care of producing
the right character code. The SunOS system finds its tables in /usr/share/lib/keytables.
