In libXg, they send 0x80, 0x81, 0x82, 0x83. What does Brazil do? I
don't think that returning the same non-character (0x80) for all the
motion keys has worked out too well.

A little. But just because a key is identified by a funny unicode
glyph doesn't mean that the terminal emulator has to print that glyph
whenever the key is struck; it just means that programs that care have
a way to get an unambiguous symbol from the system.
