In Emacs I can enter with the compose key things like |- and |2 without
a problem.
But I cannot enter ren en reN in Emacs with the compose key. For this I
created them in a terminal and copied them from there. In Firefox en
Leafpad I can also create them with the compose key.
Why not in Emacs?

I can't answer, but it will help others to answer if you say what OS
and, if there is a choice, what windowing system you running emacs
under.

Using Linux + X Windows, I have a custom .XCompose file with all the
extra combinations that I want.

I am using Debian with xfce4.
Some compose do work in Emacs.
Some compose do not work in Emacs, but do work in other programs.

For example 'Menu < =' does not work in Emacs, but does work in my
terminal and gives ren.
'Menu " e' does work in Emacs and gives |2.

I'm using Fedora 35 with Mate and OpenBox. My compose key is Right-Ctrl. Compose < = works both in and out of Emacs.

Same here with
Fedora 36
FVWM 2.6.9-7
Emacs 28.1.91, Compose==Scroll Lock
font "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-m-110-iso8859-15"
Do you get <= or nothing? If nothing maybe your font doesn't have ren.

Nothing. But it is not that the font does not have it (I think), because if I create it in a terminal I can get it with copy and past into Emacs.

The font that is used:

I did give it a glance. I have the same what someone else said with:
emacs -nw

I can enter ren, but not with the GUI version of Emacs.
I have a slighter older version of Emacs because I am on Debian:
GNU Emacs 27.1

I will look more closely tomorrow.

Two months ago it was said:
The easiest way is to add LANG=en_US.UTF-8; export LANG to your
.profile file. (If your default language is something other than
English, or your regional version of English is not US, then
you'll need to find the appropriate value, but the ".UTF-8" part
is important for any language or variant.)

I have en_GB.UTF-8, so it should not be a problem. But to be sure I
started Emacs with:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 emacs -mm &

I checked if LANG was correctly set with:
M-x getenv
LANG

and got:
en_US.UTF-8

So I suppose it does not having anything to do with the LANG
environment but a subtle difference that both the original poster on
reddit and I have. But what that subtle difference is rCa
