Samuel, I believe Xlib already allows keysyms for any legal UCS-2 value.
For instance, see http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#x11

"Since X11R6.9, a keysym value has been allocated for every Unicode
character in Appendix A of the X Window System Protocol specification.
Any UCS character in the range U-00000100 to U-00FFFFFF can now be
represented by a keysym value in the range 0x01000100 to 0x01ffffff."

Bill
