On any non-broken X11 system it's: <compose> = /

I generally configure my system so that the right-hand "windows" key
is <compose>.  If I used it a lot, I'd probably configure the left
hand one to be the same.

Definitely.  And we should allow overbar for logical inversion.  I
never did figure out the X11 compose sequence for the XOR symbol...
