Monmotha,  

Are you looking for keyboard mapping, or just a input method?  I find
that Kword allows you to insert special characters (those unicode
characters you have fonts to handle?).  I use it for inputting greek
into texts.

CJK is a whole different thing, if you want to do more than insert a few
characters.  There are a few input utilities for X out there, I use
kinput2, but I know other list members use others. And I think Warren
had a helpful webpage on the topic.  But is this what you need?
