Replacing "currency" with U+00A5 in euro.inc.gz resulted in dumpkeys
swapping "currency" with "yen".  Do I need to somehow specify an
encoding?  None of the files have any mention of this in them.

Does this mean you must have separate keymaps for byte mode and utf-8
mode, or can the byte mode understand UCS codepoints?
