[texhax] xindy: index entry with special characters

Dear folks,

after days of reading manuals and trying everything that I thought might
even remotely have a chance of succeeding, I now turn to you.

I have a problem with xindy concerning special characters. For a computer
manual, I would like to be able to produce index entries of

\index{\{}
\index{\}}
\index{\textasciicircum}
\index{\textasciitilde}
\index{\textasteriskcentered}
\index{\textgreater}
\index{\textless}

The first two make for unbalanced parantheses, the rest result in an empty
sort string for xindy. Does one of you know how to make such index entries
work?

Thanks in advance,

	Susan
