The normal function of this key appears to be to compose with the next character to form "å" or "ä", but in Ubuntu (up to and including 10.04 - Lucid Lynx) the key produces the abovementioned signs by themselves. Line 26 in "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/is" reads key <TLDE> { [ degree, diaeresis, notsign, notsign ] }; Changing this to key <TLDE> { [ dead_abovering, dead_diaeresis, notsign, notsign ] }; Appears to fix the problem. Reasonable image of an Icelandic keyboard is: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KB_Iceland.svg [Discussion] The main question is: Do either of these key symbols have separate use in Icelandic? Perhaps as a degree symbol for temperatures, but that's hardly unique to Icelandic, and other keyboards don't have such a key for that symbol (at least, standard US keyboards don't). I found a virtual keyboard at http://mylanguages.org/icelandic_keyboard.php, where this key does in fact work as a deadkey for producing åůäüïöëÿ. (other letters result in just the ° or ¨ printed).
