Thanks for your response.  I have just opened a bug.  Here is the link:

I found this FAQ which should answer your question:

This should also be useful:

OK, I will wait at least for the support of C'H and CH in xorg first.

As soon as the solution is known, I would like to complete my own
keyboard mapping without having to wait for the next official release.
So do not hesitate to post info on how to fix it here.

Thanks.
