Hello, I am in the process of modifying xterm to return keysyms for key *releases* (in addition to key presses natrually). The keysyms would be looked up in a table by their osf code (or something :-). A program that wants to take advantage of this apparatus could then issue a control sequence to turn it on and off and use a normalized table of keycodes to work from.
Aaaanyway, I would like to use UTF-8 to encode the keysym for sending to the programs stdin but there is a problem; how do I encode the extra bit of information necessary to indicate that a UTF-8 sequence is a key release as opposed to a key press? Is there a way to encode /one more bit/ of information into a UTF-8 sequence in a way that is mostly orthogonal to the encoding itself?
