You can't do what you want with xmodmap.  It's for assigning keysyms
to keys, not for assigning strings to keys.  Strings are very application
specific.  Within a terminal emulator, the emulator must provide this
capability.  The MIT R3 xterm provides this capability, using translations
and the "string" action routine.  See the xterm man page.  If you are
using some other terminal emulator, this capability might or might not be
provided, and might be provided in some other form.
