> I'm not able to use the keyboard(6) sequences in drawterm. What's the trick?

Alt is a separate keystroke not a modifier.
"Press down alt, let go of alt, type : )"
Not "press down alt, type : ), let go of alt".

Plan 9 doesn't care but drawterm does (because of
the way the underlying platforms handle things).
