How about (¤)? It looks like a ring to me, I'm not sure where that's located on a EN keyboard, but it's not terribly inconvenient on my SE keyboard. f ¤ g looks better than "f . g" for function composition, if you ask me.
That symbol actually does look better, but isn't on any English keyboards to the best of my knowledge. I can get it in my setup with <compose-key> o x, but not many people have a compose key assigned. Also, this may just be a bug, but currently, ghc gives a lexical error if I try to use that symbol anywhere, probably just since it's not an ASCII character.
Hmm. On my keyboard it's Shift+4. Strange that it's not available on other keyboards. As far as I know that symbol means nothing particularly "swedish". In fact, I have no idea what it means at all =)
It's a generic currency symbol (the X11 keysym is XK_currency). It
doesn't exist on a UK keyboard (where Shift-4 is the dollar sign).
In any case, using non-ASCII characters gives rise to encoding issues
(e.g. you have to be able to edit UTF-8 files).
