There's going to have to be a table somewhere, since the codes for  
characters outside the range \x20-\x7e aren't synched to Unicode (and in  
fact predate Unicode, and even ISO 8859-1).

The good news is that, at least with X.Org, the comments for the keysyms  
include the Unicode code points as U+xxxx. The bad news is that X11 puts  
various extension keysyms in FD00-FFFF, which may potentially collide with  
Unicode codepoints. I don't know that we care much about these, though;  
they're largely special forms, e.g. FC00-FDFF is Arabic Presentation  
Forms-A and FF00-FFFF is CJK Half-width and Full-width Characters.

See /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h on Linux / *BSD (or equivalents elsewhere,  
e.g. /opt/X11/include/X11/keysymdef for XQuartz on OS X).
