Title:
  [request] want to be able to type() any unicode character

Status in Sikuli:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  ****** 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?
