Cool. This here seems to work, too:

  $ xmodmap -e 'keycode  39 = s S U017f ssharp U017f ssharp'

Obviously there is a difference between UTF codes and X
keycodes. As far as I see, `sacute' is U015b but has a
Xmodmap code of 0x1b6. So both of these yield and
acute-accented s:

  $ xmodmap -e 'keycode  39 = s S 0x01b6 ssharp 0x01b6 ssharp'
  $ xmodmap -e 'keycode  39 = s S U015b ssharp U015b ssharp'

Setting bit 0x1000000 seems to mean: "take the UTF-16
character".

Thanks a lot.
