Jürgen,
In apl.xmodmap/apl.xkb/apl.xkm (and others mapping  ∊ and ⍷) I'd
recommend using:
Char       Location    Codepoint Now   Codepoint Proposed
∊             alt-e                       2208 [∈]
*220A [**∊**]*
⍷              alt-shift-e            22F8 [⋸]
*2377 [**⍷**]*
This way, if someone has programmed the APL characters into a font you
are using, you get them (as with: APL385).
The output of ]keyb would need to be adjusted as well.

 I'd recommend (though less important)...
€              alt-shift-u            nothing
*20AC [€]*
¿              alt-shift-q            nothing
*00BF [¿]*
¡              alt-shift--             nothing
*00A1 [¡]*
⍦           alt-shift-v            nothing
*2366 [**⍦**]  (for this last one, just "perhaps")*
Why?

You have dollar, yen, and pound-sterling.  Where's the Euro? (I'm saying
this and I'm from the US!)

You have ? positions available so make the alt-shift produce inverted
? (spanish)
Likewise alt-shift-hypen can do inverted ! (spanish)

These aren't "huge deals" - but nice.

The last one is the least certain one.  Since it is an unused character
for gnu-apl I'm not terribly concerned.  Before implementing it, it
might be wise to see what else from NARS or others should be included.

**Again, Thanks!**

——Martin
