I believe the keyboard interpretation is defined in the files:
  /etc/X11/xkb/...
or
  /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/...
dependent on the particular version of X you're running (or they
may be lisked to the same set of files.

I think symbols/be may be the particular file of interest in your case.
But I don't know or understand the syntax; so I'd take an easier approach=
 and=20
patch the key mapping using xmodmap in each users X login script.
Take a look at the manual page xmodmap(1).
