Public bug reported:

****** base for a solution on Windows, Mac and most Linux
this post summarises the keyboard actions needed to enter a unicode character based on its hex code:
http://superuser.com/questions/13086/how-do-you-type-unicode-characters-using-hexadecimal-codes

this all can be simulated with a Java AWT Robot keyboard action
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today I found that UTF-8 characters aren't supported by type(). I got
following error in my java tests:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot convert character Д
 at org.sikuli.script.Key.toJavaKeyCode(Key.java:319)
 at org.sikuli.script.RobotDesktop.typeChar(RobotDesktop.java:234)
 at org.sikuli.script.Region.keyin(Region.java:2748)
 at org.sikuli.script.Region.type(Region.java:2613)
 at kz.vas.emulator.whatsapp.WhatsAppSender.main(WhatsAppSender.java:22)

I found many questions on the portal concerning this situation and
understand that for type() I must use ASCII or use paste() to past UTF-8
symbols. However, I'm testing android app on the emulator and there is
no option to use past(), and type() is the only option to input text (as
I may suppose).

So, my question is: is there any opportunities to input text using
sikuli to android apps? Perhaps, you know additional resources which I
can include to my project?

  RaiMan, guys, could you please advise me whether you have any
  instruction about source codes? Due to the fact that there are many
  packages I'm a bit confused, and couldn't find source codes of API for
  java (I mean source codes for sikuli-java.jar). I'd like to browse the
  code, perhaps I could fix the UTF problem.
  
  Thank you!
