RE: single-key-description no good for Japanese and Chinese chars

        Shouldn't the `single-key-description of a Chinese etc.
        character simply be that Chinese character in a string?

    In an ideal world, that would be ok, but most people's
    terminals probably
    can't display the Chinese character, so they will see just a box.

That would be OK. A box is already displayed (for me) for lots of characters
("keys"). That happens, I assume, whenever my machine doesn't have the
proper font to display the character.

My concern here is the multi-byte chars (keys), for which
`single-key-description' does not return a single-character string (which
might or might not be displayed as a box, depending on your font support).
