Nice! Another option is to create a ~/.XCompose¹, which only activates manually — you add your own custom abbreviations there, and they’re only expanded when you prefix them by tapping Compose².

²You can make this quite convenient with xcape:

  setxkbmap -option compose:sclk && xcape -e "Shift_L=Multi_key"

will make tapping (but not holding) left shift act as tapping Compose
