What happens when type dead key “acute accent” then “o” to produce “ó”?
I'm on Belgian keyboard (/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be) and when I type AltGrù it produces the dead key "acute accent", it waits for another key, o for example, to produce ó.
How can I change which character is produced, such that I can do ´ + o = ɔ or anything I want?

This behaviour is determined by the compose mappings. You can find your default mappings by looking up your locale in /usr/share/X11/locale/compose.dir, then checking the corresponding file, probably /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose.
To override a compose sequence, create a file named ~/.XCompose, enter
include "%L"
as its first line (this includes the default mappings), then add your own after that:
<dead_acute> <o> : "ɔ"
You can verify your changes by starting a new xterm: it will reflect the settings on startup. Other X programs might not; for example I’ve seen GNOME Terminal pick changes up, but not systematically, even when restarting it.

So /usr/share/X11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose in my case ! Where is it defined that I have the locale iso8859-1 (I was looking for fr_BE). And this file already has a <dead_acute> <o> which one takes precedence ?
