You can remap your keyboard:

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#input

That example uses keycode 113 as mode_switch. On my keyboard that is the
left cursor. I used keycode 108 (Alt_R) instead.

$ xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Mode_switch"
$ xmodmap -e "keysym 3 = 3 numbersign sterling"

££££     (that should be 4 pound sterling symbols)


Usefull commands:
xmodmap -pk
xev
