Please note that the Ubuntu Desktop Guide, i.e.
https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/tips-
specialchars.html#compose
is not intended to reflect Ubuntu GNOME 17.04, but only Ubuntu 17.04
(with Unity). OTOH, neither GNOME Help seems to accurately reflect
Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 in this respect; changing the affected packages of
this bug.
As you say, the GUI option to set a compose key seems to be gone in
Ubuntu GNOME 17.04. Can't tell if it's a bad design decision or if there
is some other GUI way which is not (yet) documented. Anyway, you can set
it with a terminal command.
To make <RightCtrl> the compose key, run:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options
"['compose:rctrl']"
To see which other keys are possible to use, enter the terminal command:
man xkeyboard-config
and scroll down to the section "Position of Compose key".
** Package changed: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) => gnome-user-docs (Ubuntu)
** Also affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
