There are special defines in gdkkeysyms.h file:
* - GDK_KP_Multiply
/ - GDK_KP_Divide
+ - GDK_KP_Add
- - GDK_KP_Substract

> Also what defines should I use for these symbols: ^(shift+6), | (pipe)?

Not sure about these ones, but my advice would be not to use them. ^
might be mapped to shift+6 on your keyboard layout, but usually things
are much more complicated on other international layouts (for example,
on my Slovenian keyboard layout, ^ can only be displayed by pressing
"AltGr+3" and "space" - yes, it takes 2 steps and 3 keys to get this
single character).
