How does this work in real life? My PopOS (based on Ubuntu, based on Gnome) has 
this exact mechanism, and the Compose key is set to the left Alt key. The 
Settings page even gives this handy bit of help: "compose key followed by C and 
0 will enter ©".  But when I bring up a terminal and hit those keys at the 
command prompt, I get o, nothing else. If I hold down left Alt while hitting 
both C and o, I get nothing at all. 

What am I missing here?
