unicode and XFree

Thanks everyone for their previous help. I have now got both XFree 
4.0.2 and glibc 2.2 installed, have set up en_GB.UTF-8 locale, and 
am able to assign Unicode charaters to the keyboard under X and 
input them directly into xterm; it works very nicely. However, when I 
examined the behaviour using xev, I have noticed that 
XLookupString returns an empty string for my Hebrew Unicode 
characters. I first thought it was due to the English locale, but I get 
the same result for X running under he_IL.UTF-8 (both when I use 
the X symbols such as hebrew_aleph and the Unicode value + 
0x01000000).

As a result, while I can feed Unicode characters directly into xterm, 
I am unable to do so for other applications, such as Yudit. Is this 
due to some misconfiguration of XFree on my behalf, or is this 
normal behaviour?

Thanks in advance
