I'm not sure if this was answered.
In general, you have to make sure that utf-8 is set when X is started (ie,
LANG=en_AU.utf-8 or something similar) and that it's supported (localedef is
the command, I think). Then you can set an XkbOption of compose:rwin or
similar to allow you to enter rwin ^ c to get ĉ and so on. That covers the
keyboard bit and works with most applications. The wily bit of it still
confuses me.
Hope that helps.
