In that version, Dave > has implemented the hash table x-keysym-table. I don't know exactly what the problem is, but in Emacs 21.2 it probably helps to use `set-keyboard-coding-system' with `utf-8'. That works around a bug decoding X input (fixed for 21.3) without having to use development source. [The x-keysym-table feature was meant for a different circumstance, and by design may insert characters that the buffer's coding system can't encode.]
