He estado intentando y leyendo muchos recursos en Internet, intentando encontrar una manera de obtener una entrada de teclado (compuesto) UTF-8 desde una pantalla X. Pero no pude hacerlo funcionar.

He probado el código de ejemplo de esteenlazar (Ejemplo 11-4), pero sin éxito.

También he escrito un ejemplo simple (a continuación) para intentar que funcione. Mi caso de prueba simple es imprimir una "é", que ocurre al escribir el agudo y luego la e.

¿Qué está mal?

Gracias,

Aquí está mi ejemplo:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
