[BRLTTY] Type using DOT keys

[payman shaykhmehdi]

I have designed a text table for arabic and persian. But just characters
that I have defined using "\x##" string operand, can be typed using braille
keyboard. When Dot keys that are mapped to a unicode character using
"\u####" or "\U########" string operands, are pressed nothing happens in
the text editor.

I have checked the output of xbrlapi and for these keys it says : couldn't
translate keysym "########" to keycode, and this keysym is different from
what I have defined in text table. For example, I have defined the
following mapping in text table for ARABIC COMMA :

char \u060C (    5   )

and when I press Dot5 key, xbrlapi says :  couldn't translate keysym
"0100060C" to keycode.

Is it anything wrong with this char directive or some configuration needs
to be done with xbrlapi or OS?
