Hold down the altgr key, type 4e (using the numpad for the 4), and then release
the altgr key. You don't need to use compose.

I use the following loadkeys actions to make the regular number keys work
instead of the numpad (the Happy Hacking Keyboard[1] has no numpad)

alt keycode 2 = Ascii_1
alt keycode 3 = Ascii_2
alt keycode 4 = Ascii_3
alt keycode 5 = Ascii_4
alt keycode 6 = Ascii_5
alt keycode 7 = Ascii_6
alt keycode 8 = Ascii_7
alt keycode 9 = Ascii_8
alt keycode 10 = Ascii_9
alt keycode 11 = Ascii_0
altgr keycode 2 = Hex_1
altgr keycode 3 = Hex_2
altgr keycode 4 = Hex_3
altgr keycode 5 = Hex_4
altgr keycode 6 = Hex_5
altgr keycode 7 = Hex_6
altgr keycode 8 = Hex_7
altgr keycode 9 = Hex_8

altgr keycode 98 = Hex_B
altgr keycode 55 = Hex_C
altgr keycode 74 = Hex_D
altgr keycode 78 = Hex_E
