Typing L with stroke with us-intl-altgr

How do I type an L with stroke or ł, which appears notably in Polish, when using the us-intl-altgr keyboard mapping for X? More generally, is there a way to find out systematically how I can produce a certain symbol with a given keymap?
I have searched online and found several illustrations of this layout, but none seems to include this symbol.

Btw: the keyboard layout can be seen withgkbd-keyboard-display -l "us(altgr-intl)". There's nołshown, though. :-( I'd suggest to pressCTRL-SHIFT-uso an underlineduappears to indicate Unicode. Then let go of the keys and type0141(forÃ…Â) or0142(forł).

@PerlDuck That interface does not display all the symbols that can be entered, though, For instance, using deadkeys I can type another Polish character, ę (AltGr+8 then e), but it's not shown by gkbd-keyboard-display. Actually, it seems to me that it shows certain characters at..., and it does not highlight deadkeys at all.

A generic method to type a character, which is not present with the keyboard layout you are using, is to type it using its code points.
So for the example you mentioned:
Ctrl+Shift+U followed by 0142 followed by Enter => ł

Thanks! But is there a way to know which characters are present in the keyboard layout? Something likedumpkeysfor the tty console.

Answering my own question after some research.
A list of defined keys is in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us. The character ł appears there as lstroke, and it is unfortunately not defined in the altgr-intl section, unfortunately (but only in colemak).
A different way to obtain it would be with the dead key dead_stroke followed by l. Unfortunately, the key dead_stroke isn't defined in altgr-intl either (but only in mac). So the answer is that there is no way to enter that symbol with the "vanilla" altgr-intl apart from the cumbersome method described in @GunnarHjalmarsson's answer, which allows to enter a generic Unicode codepoint: Ctrl+Shift+U, 0142, Enter.
There is a different solution, though: defining a Compose key. Using gnome-tweaks, one can set up a modifier key (for instance, right-alt, or caps lock) to act as a compose key. Then, pressing compose, /, l produces ł.

Right, a compose key is one way, but you probably don't want to define <Right Alt> as the compose key when using theus+altgr-intllayout, since that would make all the 3:rd and 4:th level symbols unavailable (unless you also define anotherlv3:option).
