Πηγαίνεις στην κονσόλα και δοκιμάζεις αν μπορείς να εισάγεις τόνους.

έχω οδηγίες για minimal παράδειγμα με την χρήση ισπανικών:

We make a minimal demonstration file instead of using the existing
keymap files, found in /lib/kbd/keymaps/*.
1. Create minimal keymap for spanish.
% cat minimal-keymap-spanish.map
keycode 53 = 0x0d2f
keycode 2 = U+00E1
keycode 3 = U+00E9
compose '/' 'a' to U+00E1
compose '/' 'e' to U+00E9

"2f" is character "/". 
"0d" means we use "/" as dead key here.
U+00E1 is <λατινικό a με τονικό σημάδι>
U+00E9 is <λατινικό e με τονικό σημάδι>
keycode 2 is key "1"
keycode 3 is key "2"
2. Log on on console (no xterm :)). Use "bash" shell.
3. Run "unicode_start latarcyrheb-sun16" to reset to Unicode input.
(Just make sure all are ok, as this has been done already).
4. Run "loadkeys minimal-keymap-spanish.map"
5. Hit "1" key to generate <a με τονικό σημάδι, κατευθείαν>, to verify it's working.
6. Hit "/" + "a" to try to generate <a με τονικό σημάδι, μέσω νεκρού πλήκτρου>. It does not work due to a
kernel issue.

Actual Results:  The byte "e1" is emmited (comes from U+00E1).
This is not valid UTF-8, so nothing is displayed.

You can view the byte by typing:
% echo -n "<type it here>" | hexdump -C

Expected Results:  <a με τονικό σημάδι> should be displayed at step 6. (In UTF-8, it's
"c3, a1".
