traditional Compose bindings, aren't too hard to type, and cover a
wide set of characters that are useful to use occasionally, making
them available without the need for specialized input methods.

+After installing `.XCompose` you will need to restart any applications
+to see its effect for that application. Not all applications support
+XCompose, and it depends on which input method you are using.
+
+Some "extensions" have been added to this repository, and installing them
+may take a few more commands. Use `make` to generate the extension files
+(for emoji, modifier letters, etc.) You can include them by using the
+`include` directive in your `.XCompose` file. So you might actually not
+want to use our `install` script, but rather create your own `.XCompose`
+(perhaps with your own personal entries) along these lines:
