For anyone who doesn't know about it: X has this wonderful thing called
the Compose key[1]. For instance, type ⎄--- to get —, or ⎄<" for “.
Much more mnemonic than Unicode codepoints; and you can extend it with
user-defined sequences in your ~/.XCompose file.
(I assume Wayland supports all this too, but don't know the details.)
