Do you see the Multi_key key press and release in xev?

"locale charmap" should show you the charmap being used. It should
output something like UTF-8.

en_US.utf8 implies you are using UTF-8 for your charmap, but perhaps
it is overridable or something.

CLFS recommends using LANG=en_US.UTF-8 (
http://cross-lfs.org/view/svn/x86_64-64/bootscripts/locale.html) so
perhaps try that, but I believe en_US.utf8 is the correct setting. I'm
using LANG="en_CA.utf8" and it works for me.

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is trying to recast
locale and rebuilding the locales.
