Folder autohotkey-win contains an AutoHotKey script and the generated .exe file. It runs as an ordinary program that recognizes BQN key combinations system-wide, using the right alt key (to change this, replace RAlt in the script and rebuild). Move it to the startup folder if you'd like to have it running all the time. You can right-click its icon in the system tray to disable it temporarily.

The XCompose file, although created for XKB, is also usable with WinCompose.
