No, look closer, they are not. Unicode did not exist yet when keysyms
were defined, therefore, keysyms are in a sense something similar to
Unicode, but
I've noticed that for the most part, XKeysym values
are just
the Unicode value of the character. However,
there are
obviously Unicode values which would overlap
keysyms
in the 0xFE00 to 0x range which would
conflict.
I've also noticed references to passing keysyms
with
the 0x0100
