My pleasure, and however you solve this, you can post it here
if your countrymen in the future will google it.

Okay, but it is not the total number but the number of chars
that would involve the compose key, and how often they
are used.

Too much compose key can a little annoying so better think of
a clever way to set it up. The rule is (1) it should work, and
(2) you should do it as not as often as possible. Other than
that, yeah, good solution.

Swedish alphabet has the Latin ones and å ä and ö, so that
should (+ 26 3) 29.

The Norwegians use the Danish alphabet, maybe by now it is
Norwegian as well, This also has three extra chars at the end
so 29 again but their chars and ours are similar but not
identical. No idea what they do with their keyboards, here,
I've not heard that the compose key is so commonly in use.

Bulgarian  30
Russian    32 (or 33)
Serbian    30
Ukrainian  32

Are those similar to the Greek alphabet? Maybe to some
superficial extent but it is more beneficial to think of them
as different/distinct alphabets, or am I wrong?
