that's strange.

i have the following and they work.

;; Swap “Ctrl+x” and “Ctrl+t”, so it's easier to type on Dvorak layout
(keyboard-translate ?\C-t ?\C-x)
(keyboard-translate ?\C-x ?\C-t)

the ?\C-3 doesn't work (my mistake), but this works
(keyboard-translate ?\C-t ?•)

so maybe with a letter char it works, however, the following still
doesn't work
(keyboard-translate ?\H-t ?•)
