Dear Gunnar,

Thank you very much, this is a great progress on this issue.

The brazilian community is very active for Ubuntu and other linux distros, and flavours and forums
exist. I will do my best to "pass the message", such that this solution becomes heard over the many
other workarounds.

By the way, I will take the liberty to reproduce here the solution you posted on askubuntu:

                                                         SOLUÇÃO / SOLUTION

==========================================================================

Não importa que idioma você tenha instalado no seu sistema, quando estiver usando
o teclado US-Internacional (with dead keys), a cedilha será digitada pela combinação '+c
seguindo estes passos:

1. Gere o "local" pt_BR.UTF-8:

sudo locale-gen pt_BR.UTF-8

2. Adicione isto ao seu ~/.profile :

export LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8

(saia e entre da sua seção)

Caso o suporte para língua portuguesa estiver instalado, estes dois passos não são necessários.
Basta você escolher "Português Brasileiro" como idioma de interface. Na versão do Ubuntu 15.04
ou superior bastará escolher o idioma de interface OU as configurações regionais como
"Português Brasileiro".

=============================================================================

In English, as originally posted by Gunnar at http://askubuntu.com/questions/363115/how-to-type-latin-small-letter-c-with-cedilla

"Whichever language you are using, all you need to do, to make '+c result in ç, is:

    Generate the pt_BR.UTF-8 locale, if it's not already available:

    sudo locale-gen pt_BR.UTF-8

    Add this line to your ~/.profile file:

    export LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8

If you are a Brazilian user, and install the Portuguese language - either when installing or later from Language Support - you can skip the just mentioned steps. Instead you can just open Language Support and select Brazilian Portuguese as the display language. As from Ubuntu 15.04 it's sufficient to select Brazilian Portuguese as the Regional Formats setting."
