I'm using a normal italian keyboard. I've done nothing but a normal 
installation of Kubuntu selecting the italian keyboard layout... :)

The program used by Linux to map this special characters is xmodmap. Try 
searching on google "xmodmap" and it will answer all of your questions.

Try also the link I posted to ML: it also contains a useful example of 
the use of xmodmap.
