efaq: Compose Character

 
 9.11 Can I make my <Compose Character> key behave like a <Meta> key?
 ====================================================================
 
 On a dumb terminal such as a VT220, no.  It is rumored that certain
 VT220 clones could have their <Compose> key configured this way.  If
 you’re using X, you might be able to do this with the ‘xmodmap’ command.
