This is an UTF-8 character code. The CharacterMap application should help you
to find the codes for the characters you want to add.

:-;
represents a spacer. Like a normal key, you can set its size with:
$somesize:-;
for instance.
:+4;
will add 4 keys which will follow the previous keycode (spacers doesn't count).
So something like this:
:0x24; :-; :+4;
is equivalent to:
:0x24; :-; :0x26; :0x27; :0x28; :0x29;

Yes, $ indicates the start of a variable: if "$d = 10,20" is indicated at the
top of the file, then
$d:0x24;
is equivalent to:
10,20:0x24;
d$d... (or d10,20...) is equivalent to $d, except that the key will be a bit
darker on the layout viewer.
