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.
