I need to create a keyboard layout in Linux where I can map a key to a function key. However, I didn't see where there is a symbol to do this. So basically I need something like:
key {[2,at, f2, f2]};
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, what unicode value or symbol should I use to represent function keys?

I'm not totally sure whay you mean. But if you want to map a command or whatever to a key or a keycombination you can use Xbindkeys and Xdotool.
Edit: Also, welcome!

The 'symbol' for function keys seems to be just 'F<num>'. See the files returned by
grep -rl 'function_keys' /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/*
.Bear in mind though that mucking about with xkb symbol tables is liable to take years off your life.
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.
