Remap arrow keys to a new key combination

Question

The Left, Up and Down keys on my keyboard are broken and won't register any key codes. I have tested it using xev.

I would like to make the following keys trigger the key codes associated with the broken keys.

<Win> h -> Left
<Win> j -> Down
<Win> k -> Up
<Win> l -> Right

I have read that this is a job for xkb, but I don't know how to go about it.

Any help is appreciated!
