Well, I've compiled my "Unicode keyboard". I've made a few changes since I presented an earlier draft: the B key was filled with B-with-topbar, the "reversed question mark" was removed (not the Spanish inverted one; that's still there),  "L With Middle Dot" was replaced with lambda, the AltGr+/ dead key was replaced with a simple fraction slash, and several characters (planetary and astrological symbols, card suits, etc.) were added to the backslash and pipe dead keys.

Unfortunately, a couple of changes seem to have been made for me: when compiling, it seems that MS KLC dumped a few of my dead keys. Fortunately, none were super-important, but still, it's annoying. AltGr+1 (roman numerals) was one of the ones that died. The others were AltGr+shift+space, which I was using for additional kinds of spaces, and AltGr+&, which I was using for some oddball stuff ("care of" symbol, "place of interest sign"/command key symbol, and a few others). The irritating part is that it didn't just drop the dead-key character lists, it actually left those key combos unassigned, so now trying to type them will make Windows beep at you.

(The instructions & such may seem familiar; they're copy-pasted from my previous keyboard postings, just altered to reflect this particular keymap)

I hope somebody finds this useful.

I also hope it's gotten keymap-tinkering out of my system for a while.
