Debian 12 system with a step-by-step guide that makes keyboard quirks

<h2>Problem Statement</h2>
<p>I am encountering an issue with my English US, intl. keyboard,
configured to 'portuguese-br,' where it occasionally outputs <code>ć</code>
instead of <code>ç</code> in certain windows and terminals. This problem persists
on my Debian 12 system with the GNOME desktop environment.</p>
<h2>Solution</h2>
<p>To rectify this issue, you can create or modify the file located at
~/.Xcompose with the following content:</p>
<div class="remark-highlight"><pre class="language-txt"><code class="language-txt"> # UTF-8 (Unicode) compose sequences

 # Overrides C acute with Ccedilla:
 &#x26;lt;dead_acute&#x26;gt; &#x26;lt;C&#x26;gt; : &#x26;quot;Ç&#x26;quot; &#x26;quot;Ccedilla&#x26;quot;
 &#x26;lt;dead_acute&#x26;gt; &#x26;lt;c&#x26;gt; : &#x26;quot;ç&#x26;quot; &#x26;quot;ccedilla&#x26;quot;</code></pre></div>
<p>Afterwards, execute the following command in your terminal:</p>
<div class="remark-highlight"><pre class="language-bash"><code class="language-bash">gsettings <span class="token builtin class-name">set</span> org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides <span class="token string">"{'Gtk/IMModule': &#x3C;'ibus'>}"</span>
</code></pre></div>
<p>To apply the changes, restart your computer or switch between Wayland and Xorg sessions.</p>
<p>And there you have it! Your issue should now be resolved.</p>
