You just need to learn your keyboard's modifiers (which may or may not
be enabled). You misht have a ~ character on a key. On mine, I can press
that once (nothing prints), followed by a normal n, and I get ?. In X, I
think these are called compose keys. Same with the ^, `, ? and ?
modifiers. I do not recall which ones, if any, are on a US keyboard. But
I do know that you can define keys to be compose keys. Maybe it is a
different X keymap.
