Even if it works on a tty, you still need to tell X about it with xmodmap. The 
two don't use the same mapping mechanism.

So it now works. That's good.

That's because, now that you've defined them with xmodmap, X knows what the 
characters are, but they can't actually be displayed in ISO-8859-15 so textual 
equivalents are being used.

>And in pure tty, nothing happens.

As long as your tty is using UTF-8, and as long as your text table defines the 
characters, I'm sure they're being entered when you type them. The problem, 
however, is that ISO-8859-15 can't display them. Basic tty support, unlike X, 
doesn't use a textual equivalent when the character set being used doesn't 
define a character.
