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...
