Sarcasm? If you set up a .XCompose file you can type them any way you want. In my case they're mapped to <Compose> <^> <^>, <Compose> <v> <v>, and <Compose> <->

Sarcasm? If you set up a .XCompose file you can type them any way you want. In my case they're mapped to <Compose> <^> <^>, <Compose> <v> <v>, and <Compose> <-> <,> (plus a few minor variations). I always miss the programmable compose keys when I'm forced to use Windows. Charmap and alt-sequences are not an adequate substitute.
