xmodmap

encountered a problem of typing ] on my laptop. this gave me a good information, but the keyboard list didn't include the one i needed. with the help of xev, i found the key i want to modify has the keycode 51. so, on terminal,

> xmodmap -e "keycode 51 = bracketright braceright"

worked. this page gave me a better expression and a way to store it. i.e., create ~/.xmodmaprc with a line

keycode 51 = bracketright braceright kana_MU kana_closingbracket

it works.

to do the above, i installed xkeycaps as

> sudo apt-get install xkeycaps

addendum:

keycode 51 = bracketright braceright kana_MU kana_closingbracket

caused a problem eventually somehow... changed to

keycode 51 = bracketright braceright bracketright braceright bracketright braceright

and worked better. also changed .xmodmaprc to .xmodmap
