How to make a custom keyboard layout?

Question

Can I create a new keyboard layout or add Unicode characters to my current keyboard layout in Ubuntu? I have found something called KMFL (Keyboard Mapping for Linux), however, I could not install it because I could not find the package ibus-kmfl.

Is there maybe an easier way create a new keyboard layout? Something as easy as the the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator?

Thanks for that. :) That's answered my question but I can't remove the bounty of course. — Ads20000, Aug 22 '14 at 11:47

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, [it would be preferable](http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/8259) to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. – Tim Aug 10 '14 at 12:15

Also that article is outdated ('This article needs updating to include the latest versions of Ubuntu.') and the person who filed the [relevant bug](https://launchpad.net/bugs/1354968) says that it doesn't work. Could we have a detailed, working explanation of how to do this please? – Ads20000 Aug 22 '14 at 08:30
