Public bug reported: I am using the default German keyboard layout in a de_DE.UTF8 environment. When typing the key sequence ´ + c (<dead_acute> <c>), I am getting ç (ccedilla), but I would expect ć (cacute).
The cause seems to be in /usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-15/Compose, which has these lines: # Useful for portuguese language <dead_acute> <C> : "\307" Ccedilla <dead_acute> <c> : "\347" ccedilla I don’t know why we should have a special case for this: We can have ccedilla already with <dead_cedilla> <c>, and currently there is no way to get cacute. It is really counterintuitive to use the acute on a c and get a c with cedilla.
