Here's the answer:

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51

xkb_symbols "arrows_4btns" {
    // standard arrows mapping
    // normal 2nd level must not be enumerated to allow text selection with Shift key
    key <UP>    { type[Group1] = "PC_FN_LEVEL2", symbols[Group1] = [ Up,    dead_circumflex ] };
    key <LEFT>  { type[Group1] = "PC_FN_LEVEL2", symbols[Group1] = [ Left,  dead_acute      ] };
    key <DOWN>  { type[Group1] = "PC_FN_LEVEL2", symbols[Group1] = [ Down,  dead_tilde      ] };
    key <RGHT>  { type[Group1] = "PC_FN_LEVEL2", symbols[Group1] = [ Right, dead_grave      ] };
};

Hope you find it useful!
