Oh, and the principle of keysyms is to give the application knowledge of
exactly what SYMBOLS on the keys, not characters.  Some keys have many
symbols engraved on them, and so the list tells you all the symbols that
are on the key.  You probably want to look at the protocol or Xlib
documentation for an explanation.
