Run xev and press the key, that'll give you some hint on how it's seen.
(keycode and keysym):

For example, here, it gives:

KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
    root 0x1a5, subw 0x0, time 4164745750, (-1322,25), root:(374,889),
    state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Then run xmodmap to get the modifier mapping. For example, I used to put
this xmodmap definition in my $HOME/.Xmodmap file to make Super_L a
modifier so that it can be used with other keys:

clear mod4
add mod4 = Super_L
