Will do, I'm aiming for something like http://www.aplusdev.org/keyboard.html

I'm assuming (for the moment at least) that getting these sort of 
characters into dialog(ue) boxes would be an entirely different issue.

My expertise as far as these is concerned is negligible, since there are 
very few cases where this sort of thing appears in English. An 
interesting point here is that Sun keyboards (i.e. directly connected to 
the computer, possibly not via xterm etc.) have a compose key, I'm not 
promising immediate activity but it would be interesting to look at this 
on both Linux and Solaris... although so far Solaris 10's UTF-8 handling 
appears poor.
