You should be able to map the characters that you need into the printing character set.
As the NeXT is supporting a PostScript display model.  I don't have a next machine myself
but i have done this with PostScript printers.  I'm sorry that i don't have a code
fragment on hand but perhaps another either in this conference or the postscript conference
will.  As for mapping the those characters to keys, That i could not tell you.
(I only replied as I saw there was no other followups).
