X11: convert a string into keysym

I guess the problem is that the strings read from the config file
Code:
kbdEventsVect[0].c_str() = XK_Up
kbdEventsVect[1].c_str() = XK_Down
[..]

are not corectly mapped to the corresponding keysym code, as obtained from X11/keysymdef.h header file.
Is there a simple way to get the correct codes or shall I write a mapping class ?
Thank you for your help!

xkeysymtostring

XKeysymToString(3X)						  XLIB FUNCTIONS					       XKeysymToString(3X)

NAME

       XKeysymToString - convert keysyms

SYNTAX

       char *XKeysymToString(keysym)
	     KeySym keysym;

ARGUMENTS

       keysym	 Specifies the KeySym that is to be searched for or converted.

DESCRIPTION

       Standard KeySym names are obtained from <X11/keysymdef.h> by removing the XK_ prefix from each name.  KeySyms that are not part of the Xlib
       standard also may be obtained with this function.  The set of KeySyms that are available in this manner and the mechanisms by which Xlib
       obtains them is implementation dependent.

       If the KeySym name is not in the Host Portable Character Encoding, the result is implementation dependent.  If the specified string does
       not match a valid KeySym, XStringToKeysym returns NoSymbol.

       To convert a KeySym code to the name of teh KeySym, use XStringToKeysym.

       The returned string is in a static area and must not be modified.  The returned string is in the Host Portable Character Encoding.  If the
       specified KeySym is not defined, XKeysymToString returns a NULL.
