Alternatively, you can create a custom keyboard layout for Linux 
relatively easily. The text format is relatively legible, but to 
simplify, you can use a utility such as
https://github.com/simos/keyboardlayouteditor .

For instance, I find myself using the characters ðþƹāē often for personal 
reasons, plus åøæ when I was learning Norwegian, so I created a keyboard 
layout to simplify that.

Still doesn't make it a great idea, but if your code's audience is 
sufficiently constrained, you might find it makes some things more usable.
