Thank you for your comprehensive report. To me it sounds like 
a bug in the software provided upstream or a misconfiguration in your system [3].
Does the same source work for you on another distribution?
If it works on other distributions, but not on Gentoo Linux, I suggest to discuss this problem 
on a related mailing list, forum or IRC channel. I have had very good experience on the 
Gentoo IRC [1], of course there are also forums and mailing lists. [2]

Please link upstream reports regarding this bug here.

[3] look up the upstream forums; search in their bug tracker

Hi Jonas

Tanks for info.

You can close this bug . 
Issue not related to ibus-libpinyin Gentoo package,or it's upstream version.


And actually not related to libpinyin  at all, but for "Compose Key" functionality on selected keyboard layout.

#So this below combination is working 
RightAlt( Compose key ) + c + a 
⇒ A letter with caron (Ǎǎ)

Thanks ,
