I have considered xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/input/keyboard/kbd.c. 
The problem, however, with all low-level (i.e. server-side and close to 
the hardware) solutions is: since the events carry only the keycode 
instead of the keysym we need a way to "ship" the event so that 
XLookupKeysym will return the keysym we want. One could try to choose 
the keycode so that it will result in the correct symbol, but it is not 
even guaranteed that all "synthesizable" keysyms have a way of being 
generated by the traditional mapping code.
