Entering utf-8 characters (newbie)

[Gour <gour@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I'm new on this list as well in the Linux world of utf-8.

My locale is set to utf-8 encoding and at the moment I'm evaluating epcEdit
SGML/XML editor.

It can display all the utf-8 accented characters which I entered in Vim, but
I do not know how to enter those accented characters which are not on my defaultkeyboard layout.

In the past I was working with LyX (LaTeX) and there was no problem to produce
whatever accented character I need by the simple mechanism of Compose_key &
dead_keys. 

Now I have to replace my toolchain with DocBook, utf-8 encoding and I would 
like to help making ConTeXt (as well as Xindy) utf-8 ready realizing it is the
right way to go.

I see that Vim (as well as Emacs, but I don't speak it :-) can enter utf-8
characters, but I'm wondering is it possible & how to do it in X (modifying
Xmodmap or ..)?

Otherwise epcEdit's interface is written in Tcl.

Sincerely,
Gour
