http://sourceforge.net/p/linuxwacom/xf86-input-wacom/ci/master/tree/tools/xsetwacom.c#548 it's an obviously incomplete list but the basic approach to this is to call XKeysymToKeycode(XStringToKeysym(<input string>)). The XStringToKeysym() is the key point of failure here, its translation rules are limited. ß isn't recognised, but the symbolic name for it is xsetwacom set ... "key ssharp" and those names you can get from /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h having said all that, I can't reproduce the 'crash' - xsetwacom bails out for § but I can still set some other config afterwards.
