As from ibus 1.5.11-1ubuntu1, ibus honors X11 compose files. With this change, together with the pending language-selector commit, all Portuguese users can type ccedilla easily in xenial.

If either the display language or the regional formats setting is a Portuguese option, '+c will automatically result in ccedilla (ç).

* It works in the same way for Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese
  as spoken in Portugal.

* It works whether the input method framework in use is ibus,
  fcitx, uim, or none.

If neither the display language nor the regional formats setting is a Portuguese option, you can enable this feature manually by opening your ~/.profile file for editing and adding this line:

export XCOMPOSEFILE=/usr/share/X11/locale/pt_BR.UTF-8/Compose
