Why can't you make your keyboard produce these characters? My  
keyboard has dead-keys for cedilla and accents, so I can compose  
these characters with the keyboard directly, no Emacs action necessary.

When you have X11 running you can define two new levels of key  
symbols, those when you press alt or alt and shift together. The  
programme to change this is xmodmap, xmodmap -pk will show the recent  
settings.
