I am using Ubuntu 18.04. Our language need to use Alternative Characters Key in "Typing". I can use this option in Ubuntu 16.04 and didn't find in Ubuntu version 18.04. How do I set this in Ubuntu 18.04?
Updated!...............
The Following picture is our keyboard layout. In Ubuntu version 16.04, Firstly I installed our keyboard and then go to Keyboard >> Typing >> and set Right Alt for Alternative Character Key.
In the following picture, I pointed to two arrows with different colors to words. Red Arrow pointed word is Main Word. If I want to type Blue Arrow pointed word, I need press the Right Alt and then press "P". So It will work. Currently I am facing the problem in 18.04 for type some of these Characters which was use by pressing Alternative Character Key in 16.04. Please solve my problem. Thank you.

The Alternative Character Key is usually labeled 'AltGr' right to the space bar. Do you have this key? Or is it just dead in 18.04? Can you link to a picture of your keyboard layout and describe your issue a little more?

If you have the 'AltGr' key, can you use for entering the special characters you need? Could you give an example what you want to type? Maybe it is easier then.

You need to install gnome-tweaks and go to the menuitem 'keyboard & mouse'. From there, the button 'extended options' lets you reassign the key. In your case, you don't have an AltGr, it is a right Alt. Please set your preferences accordingly. You want to have the 3rd level assigned to your right Alt and maybe the 4th level to Shift right Alt if I get your intentions right.
The keyboard layout picture was really helpful to clear up the confusion.
