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 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Also that article is outdated ('This article needs updating to include the latest versions of Ubuntu.')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 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
