Please don't. So far, XFree86 does not plan to add any further symbolic
keysyms for characters that can already be accessed by a 0x01xxxxxx
Unicode value. On the contrary, some enthusiasm has been expressed in
the past for the idea of reducing the size of the existing keysym table,
because the meaning of several dozen keysyms can't be reconstructed any
more. The fewer conversion tables to manage, the better. If you want to
have a more readable XKB file, feel free to contribute a tiny script
that adds the Unicode name as comments to XKB layout files like the
above.
