Yes, all the missing keysyms represents unicode characters.  Some of
the characters first appeared in unicode 3.1, but at the moment, all
the sami characters are in unicode.  This is what I wrote 2001-08-14:

  Subject: Missing some sami characters in X11
  To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2001 11:03:37 +0200

  The following unicode characters are needed in the sami keyboard
  layout and character sets (ISO-IR-197 and ISO-IR-209), but seem to
  be missing from the XFree86 reportoare.  Which files, in addition to
  X11/keysymdefs.h, do I need to modify to add these characters?

  Should I use the unicode value, or should I make up some other
  number for the X11 defines?

  Code      Value (hex) Name                                 keysym (prop)
  <Sb>      /x20/x22    BULLET                               XK_bullet
  <G//>     /x01/xE4    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH STROKE   XK_Gstroke
  <g//>     /x01/xE5    LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH STROKE     XK_gstroke
  <K<>      /x01/xE8    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER K WITH CARON    XK_Kcaron
  <k<>      /x01/xE9    LATIN SMALL LETTER K WITH CARON      XK_kcaron
  <ED>      /x01/xB7    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER EZH             XK_EZH
  <ed>      /x02/x92    LATIN SMALL LETTER EZH               XK_ezh
  <EZ>      /x01/xEE    LATIN CAPITAL LETTER EZH WITH CARON  XK_EZHcaron
  <ez>      /x01/xEF    LATIN SMALL LETTER EZH WITH CARON    XK_ezhcaron

The keysym names are my proposal.

I assume you are talking about the proposal described in
<URL:http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/xorg.html>.  Is there any
indication if (when) this proposal will be included in X11?  Is it
already part of XFree86?

Let me know if you need more information.
