  You may want to investigate xmodmap;  I'm not sure there's a way to
specify any old unicode char (I think I've seen one) but if you create a
~/.xmodmaprc with something like (this is from mine, defining <AltGr+'> to
give the nicer ’ char):

keycode 0x30 =  apostrophe at  rightsinglequotemark dead_circumflex
rightsinglequotemark dead_circumflex


  All the keys by default have an AltGr ('ISO Shift Level 3') mapping, Y's
is '←' (¥ with <Shift> as well).  Pick one you don't fancy using any more,
and change its mapping.  The full list of codes currently on a key can be
shown with xkeycaps (which is really showing its age now;  any alternatives
anyone?) but I wouldn't recommend making it save a full xmodmaprc (unless
you then edit out all but the one you want).
