There's probably a more elegant solution, but this works for me :)

~/.Xmodmap (loaded through xmodmap(1) by ~/.xinitrc)

keycode  52 = y Y
keycode  29 = z Z
keycode  94 = less greater backslash
keycode  59 = comma semicolon
keycode  60 = period colon
keycode  61 = minus underscore
keycode  47 = odiaeresis eacute
keycode  48 = adiaeresis agrave braceleft
keycode  51 = dollar sterling braceright
keycode  34 = udiaeresis egrave bracketleft
keycode  35 = dead_diaeresis exclam bracketright
keycode  49 = section degree
keycode  10 = 1 plus bar
keycode  11 = 2 quotedbl at
keycode  12 = 3 asterisk numbersign
keycode  13 = 4 ccedilla
keycode  14 = 5 percent
keycode  15 = 6 ampersand
keycode  16 = 7 slash brokenbar
keycode  17 = 8 parenleft
keycode  18 = 9 parenright
keycode  19 = 0 equal
keycode  20 = apostrophe question
keycode  21 = dead_circumflex dead_grave asciitilde
keycode 116 = Mode_switch
keycode 113 = Mode_switch
keycode 115 = Mode_switch
keycode  64 = Mode_switch
keycode  22 = BackSpace
clear Shift
clear Lock
clear Control
clear mod1
clear mod2
clear mod3
clear mod4
clear mod5
add Shift = Shift_L Shift_R
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L Control_R
add mod1 = Alt_L
add mod2 = Num_Lock
add mod3 = Mode_switch
add mod4 = Meta_L
add mod5 = Scroll_Lock

This is for a swiss-german keyboard, as an example.

The keycode is shown by xev(1) when you press the key, the list of
character names is found in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h
(remove leading XK_), the rest explained in xmodmap(1).

HTH,
Daniel
