Clocky (and any XBIOS keytable) can produce any character from ASCII
range 0..255. So what's the problem?

Are they mapped as some well documented scan codes? If yes, I can add
them to Clocky's keyboard layout editor.

I don't know what E-circ is, but if it's in ASCII range it must be
possible to put it on a key with Clocky. Just tell me the ASCII code of
E-circ and I'll map it for you on any key you'd want :-)
