support for £ sign using IBus?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Get an Italian keyboard
2. Enable Korean Hanja character input using IBus
3. Remap <shift>+3 to British Pound Sign (£)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see £, but this character is not returned.
Shift+3 doesn't respond even after disabling expansions using the autokey 
toolbar icon.
Closing the program allows # to be returned (as expected).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 11.10 & authokey 0.71.2

Please provide any additional information below.
Not sure what aspect of this configuration is causing the problem.
Disabling IBus doesn't make any difference.

I know few users will be using such a setup, but it might be symptomatic of a 
wider problem. Other key bindings work fine.

Thanks for reply.
No change using 0.81.4.
Noticed that it fails to send any unicode characters (of the ones I tried).

Read some other posts. Unicode (inc. £) works with 'paste using clipboard'

It's a good program. Getting it to send unicode without emptying the clipboard 
would be useful.

I would suggest there are other programs more suited to remapping the keyboard 
like what you are wanting to do. AutoKey wasn't designed to do that (although 
as you have found it does support certain scenarios).
