TMHO:
No. As a workaround to get the "char input" this isn't reliable on _any_ system or hardware configuration. You only *guess* with that:
IF the user uses a 'usual' keyboard layout, then he'll get from that key press a certain character.

Currently I'm using a german keyboard on an english system (because my english keyboard was drunk from a cup of cappucino). But I use the english keyboard layout. So my "ö" yields ";". But it's always the keyCode 59. While the characterCode is what you get from charToNum().

Using "Ukelele" (good site for writing systems and character encoding) http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele
I can use my "ö" for (nearly all) other keypresses.
And the keyCode is always 59.
