liveinit: Use Shift-AltGr as the Compose Key, seems to be the sanest choice.
As documented in file "/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst":
lv3 Key to choose 3rd level
lv3:ralt_switch_multikey Right Alt, Shift+Right Alt key is Compose
And as explained in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey :
There are four levels of keyboard entry. Selecting a level involves holding
a set of modifier keys down, this changes the function of all the other keys
on the keyboard. The levels are, by default:
Level Modifier Keys produced
-------------------------------
1 None Lowercase letters, numbers, etc.
2 Shift Uppercase letters, symbols printed on keyboard, etc.
3 AltGr Extra symbols not printed on the keyboard, some dead keys.
4 AltGr-Shift Even more symbols, more dead keys.
Dead keys are keys that appear to do nothing at first; they apply an accent
to the next letter you type.
Third and fourth level choosers:
Holding down the AltGr key and pressing another key will produce a third level
character. Holding down the AltGr and Shift keys (the order can be important)
and pressing another key will produce a fourth level character.
Note that some combinations are dead keys; an additional key-press is required
whereupon a diacritic will be added to the final character keyed.
Compose key:
Keying the combination Shift+AltGr (in that order), releasing these keys,
then entering two other keys will produce a special character.
