Unicode input in sam/X11

I know it is offtopic, but Unicode input and XML are closely related;
and many people here had contributed to sam's unix distribution (judging
by the aknowledgements).

Sam is an UCS-2 editor by Rob Pike

It worked for me but lacked capability to accept typed Unicode text under X11
(I type a lot in Russian and Armenian). I've taken keysym2ucs from xterm
and patched sam to work with it. 

If anyone is interested, the patch is at:

Besides direct keyboard input capabilities, it has (and always had) excellent 
compose mode, allowing to type Alt+cO for copyright, or Alt+X2014 for m-dash,
etc.
