nls: use a slash instead of a combining solidus in compose sequences
First: combining diacritics like the combining long solidus (U+0338
)
are not meant to be used in compose sequences. Second: there is just
one layout in xkeyboard-config that contains the U0338
character:
the deprecated/obsolete German T3 layout. So, practically speaking,
these compose sequences with U0338
were untypable. So, use a slash
instead, that almost all layouts have. This does require that the
sequence <Compose> <less> <slash>
changes its meaning from backslash
to not-less-than (≮
). This seems like an acceptable sacrifice, as
the sequence <Compose> <slash> <slash>
is a faster/easier sequence
for the backslash and most layouts contain a backslash already anyway.
