    I presume that you are using X11 and not Linux's text console. If so,
    please open a rfe bug at:

      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg

    requesting the addition of compose table support for the sequence "ė̄"
    and its majuscule. Please include some lines of justification (eg,
    the language it is for; info of that nature) in the report.

    Until then, you can add these two lines to your Compose file (probably
    /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose) to enable the specific
    compose sequences you mention above:

    <Multi_key> <underscore> <period> <e> : "ė̄"
    <Multi_key> <underscore> <period> <E> : "Ė̄"

    If you use Gnome (the defualt on, eg Ubuntu), you should note that Gnome
    does not use libX11's compose tabes; it has its own implementation. You
    should still open a report with use (Xorg), but also with Gnome at:

      https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi

    (I don't know which bugzilla product it should be under at Gnome.Org.)

    AFAIU, qt uses libX11's compose support, so if you use KDE then the Xorg
    bug report is probably enough.
