I am also looking for such stuff....I wanna type German Special Characters (Umlauts) but can't find a way to do that with the US keyboard Layout. Changing to the German Keyboard layout is an option, but not quite convenient.

Config in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard, combinations in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/include/* (but what specific file(s) depend(s) upon settings in config).
I suppose one could add more combinations, but maybe best in a separate file, and add the file in the config.
The right-Ctrl key is made as the Compose key (which composes an accent with any letter) by Xmodmap. You can see the defaults all in the file /etc/X11/Xmodmap. They are all commented out, but they serve as examples. If you copy that file to your home directory as .Xmodmap, you can modify it as you want.
Though the Compose key allows you to do any accented letter, I don't think it can be used for non-latin characters.
Maybe I was not clear enough. I meant: perhaps it's possible to create another file like those under /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/include/* with one's own definitions and add it's filename to the COMPOSETABLE variable in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard. Cheers, Leen
