using utf-8 with xterm

["Tomas Frydrych" <tomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am sorry, if this a is trivial question, but I am out of my witts (have 
read the Unicode HOWTO, the utf-8 man page, the locale man 
page the kbd_mode man page, the xmodmap man page ...). 

I have got the Unicode enabled xterm and Markus Kuhn's unicode 
fonts installed on my machine, and can display the sample files 
that came with Markus' fonts very nicely. Now, how do I make my 
keyboard under XFree86 4 emit utf-8 codes? I use English locale, 
which I want to keep, but say would like to assign the Hebrew 
Aleph (UCS=0x5d0, utf-8 0xd7 0x90) to a particular key on the 
keyboard. I have tried to assign both 0x5d0 and 0xd790 to the key 
using xmodmap, but this does not work, the key will not generate 
anything at all (or so it seems). I have also tried to use kbd_mode -
u, but that renders my keyboard totally unusable, genearting not 
much more than [ and ].

Thanks for help
