[New-bugs-announce] [issue42695] tkinter keysym_num value is incorrect

Hi there.
On my MacOS 10.14.16 laptop with a qwerty keyboard I was testing tkinter keyboard listening for an azerty keyboard layout by switching the layout to `French - PC`
When I press qwerty keys Shift + \ I expect to see 'μ' printed.
When looking at the tkinter events for that key press we see:
```
down {'keysym': 'Shift_L', 'keysym_num': 65505, 'keycode': 131072, 'char': ''}
down {'keysym': 'tslash', 'keysym_num': 956, 'keycode': 956, 'char': 'μ'}
up {'keysym': 'asterisk', 'keysym_num': 42, 'keycode': 2753468, 'char': 'μ'}
up {'keysym': 'Shift_L', 'keysym_num': 65505, 'keycode': 131072, 'char': ''}
```
So the char value is correct but the keysym_num is not the expected 181 for mu.
Comparing this to pressing Shift + / to generate the section symbol (§) we see:
```
down {'keysym': 'Shift_L', 'keysym_num': 65505, 'keycode': 131072, 'char': ''}
down {'keysym': 'section', 'keysym_num': 167, 'keycode': 167, 'char': '§'}
up {'keysym': 'section', 'keysym_num': 167, 'keycode': 2883751, 'char': '§'}
up {'keysym': 'Shift_L', 'keysym_num': 65505, 'keycode': 131072, 'char': ''}
```
Which produces the expected keysym_num of 167.

TLDR: the kysym_num value when writing the mu character is incorrect. It should be 181 and logging shows values of 956 and 42. Can this be fixed?

Here is the keyboard listener program which can be used for verification:
```
from tkinter import *

params = ['keysym', 'keysym_num', 'keycode', 'char']

def keyup(e):
    d = {p: getattr(e, p) for p in params}
    print('up', d)
    # print('up', e.__dict__)
def keydown(e):
    d = {p: getattr(e, p) for p in params}
    print('down', d)
    # print('down', e.__dict__)
    pass

root = Tk()
frame = Frame(root, width=100, height=100)
frame.bind("<KeyPress>", keydown)
frame.bind("<KeyRelease>", keyup)
frame.pack()
frame.focus_set()
root.mainloop()
```
