Compose, >, w (in sequence, not held down) will typically do the
trick, tidy.  On a PC keyboard, Compose is usually mapped either to
AltGr or Shift+AltGr.  Truth be told, GNOME and KDE typically have a
configuration option somewhere that will redefine these things.  There
may be other ways to get those directly mapped to keyboard strokes.
