Public bug reported:
For my work and for real life I write a lot in English, Italian and Portuguese
so on all my system desktop (Lubuntu 13.04), netbook and notebook (Lubuntu
13.10), I set my keyboard to US alternative international.
What I expect pressing the key " ' " followed by " c " from the keyboard is
the special char " ç " (ALT code 135) but on 13.10 it
read it as a " ć ", when on 13.04 is working as expected.
I tried to configure it with the new keyboard layout Handler applet and with
the old-but-good Lxkeymap but Lubuntu simply seems to ignore the existence of
that character. The rest of the keyboard is working fine. This char is really
important for Portuguese so it's a big issue. I tried with a standard Ubuntu
13.04/13.10 live, same behavior.
Another user on Lubuntu mailing list reported the same issue wih swedish
keyboard:

I can confirm this behaviour also with Swedish keyboard
Examples
Acute accent + c prints ç in 12.04.3 but ć in 13.10
Acute accent + e prints é in 12.04.3 and 13.10
When I log in from a Lubuntu 13.10 client via ssh to a Xubuntu 12.04.3
ssh server, I get the 13.10 behaviour, so it seems connected to the
keyboard setting rather than interpreting the ascii code.
----------------------------------------------
Note that entering a TTY the keyboard do not change at all. It's stuck
on US keyboard.
