I believe there is a confusion then: those bindings are not for specific
characters but for so-called "generic characters" which cover a whole
charset at a time.  So the description is correct in the sense that which is
bound is the whole charset rather than just one of the chars.  It does
suffer from the bug you mentioned, tho: it can't be parsed back by kbd.
