I've been using the US International keyboard layout for typing the cedilla character (ç) — and other Portuguese characters; and other bizarro other accidental ones — for a while, and it works on basically all of my applications. In order to correctly set it up though, I had to alter some files inside my Artix OS. You can find more about it through these links:

Sometimes, when there is a system upgrade, I have to redo the steps in those gists, but that's about it, it works in the end.

I'm using GUI Emacs — I didn't even know there was a way of using Emacs on the terminal... — with GTK and X11, with XMonad as my WM. You can find out more about my setup here.

However, the major problem is that the mapping doesn't work at all within Emacs. It maps to the original ć, which I guess is a Slav character, but I don't really know. How do I fix this? And why is this happening only in Emacs?

  • What user interface are you using: terminal or GUI emacs and if GUI with which toolkit (Lucida, GTK, …), console or X11, what window manager or desktop environment, …? – Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' Jun 14 '21 at 17:56

    A bit of workaround: you can change input type in Emacs with C-\ and then select latin-pre-1. Cedilha would then be `,c`. This only works with Emacs and you have to set it at least per session, but it's what I use to add non-english characters when needed. You should be able to select almost any kind of input (but I prefer the pre option). – miguelbernadi Jun 16 '21 at 05:52
  • @miguelbernadi, weirdly, `C-\ ` isn't working actually. Even if I select something like `portuguese-prefix`, it gets superseeded by whatever layout I selected using `setxkbmap`. And I couldn't find `latin-pre-1`, the closest I got was `latin-1-prefix`. – Philippe Fanaro Jun 16 '21 at 13:45
  • You are right, I referred to `latin-prefix` or `latin-1-prefix`. Citing from memory was not a good idea. Once you select that didn't it work combining `,` and `c`? It does work in my Emacs. – miguelbernadi Jun 17 '21 at 18:53
