I would like to be able to more easily compose the skull and
crossbones (☠), up and down arrows (↑,↓), and an umbrella (☂).

So i propose the following additions to
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose :

<Multi_key> <O> <X>                         : "☠" U2620 # SKULL AND CROSSBONES
<Multi_key> <asciicircum> <bar>             : "↑" U2191 # ARROW UP
<Multi_key> <bar> <asciicircum>             : "↑" U2191 # ARROW UP
<Multi_key> <bar> <v>                       : "↓" U2193 # ARROW DOWN
<Multi_key> <v> <bar>                       : "↓" U2193 # ARROW DOWN
<Multi_key> <asciicircum> <asciicircum> <J> : "☂" U2602 # UMBRELLA

note that the SKULL AND CROSSBONES binding is upper-case, as distinct
from the already-existing lower-case binding for ¤.

Hi,

Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net> (17/12/2010):

it would be nice if you could submit those directly upstream, since
that's not Debian-specific:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/

Feel free to mark this bug forwarded there once that's done. :)
Thanks.

Mraw,
KiBi.

Better yet, send a patch to xorg-devel@lists.x.org.

Cheers,

These were added in 1.7.0.

These were not. I'd suggest sending merge requests (perhaps separately
rather than together) if you still want them.
