You can already use Unicode symbols as keysyms -- just use 0x10028xx.
Of course, I'm sure we could attach symbolic names to same if requested,
but we'd need a list of symbolic names and codepoints.  Bonus points if
it comes in the form of a patch to proto/X11/keysym.h adding #define
XK_BRAILLE, and proto/X11/keysymdef.h adding #ifdef XK_BRAILLE\n#define
XK_foo 0x1002801\n...\n#endif.

Cheers,
Daniel
