AWT component receives an incorrect char code on KeyPressed/Released event
from inputs made by 106 keyboard which is one of Japanese keyboard type.

Char code in KeyTyped event is correct though.

Try the following example to reproduce:

public class KeyEvents extends Applet implements java.awt.event.KeyListener, java.awt.event.MouseListener
{
        java.awt.TextArea area;
        java.awt.Canvas canvas;
        public KeyEvents()
        {
        }
        public void init()
        {
                resize(320, 240);
                this.setLayout(new java.awt.GridLayout(2,1));
                this.area = new java.awt.TextArea();
                this.canvas = new java.awt.Canvas();
                this.add(area);
                this.add(canvas);
                this.canvas.addKeyListener(this);
                this.canvas.addMouseListener(this);
        }
        public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent event)
        {
                String message;
                message=""+event;
                System.out.println(message);
                this.area.append(message+" \n");
        }
        public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent event)
        {
                String message;
                message=""+event;
                System.out.println(message);
                this.area.append(message+" \n");
        }
        public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent event)
        {
                String message;
                message=""+event;
                System.out.println(message);
                this.area.append(message+" \n");
        }
        public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
        {
        }
        public void mouseEntered(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
        {
        }
        public void mouseExited(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
        {
        }
        public void mousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
        {
                this.canvas.requestFocus();
        }
        public void mouseReleased(java.awt.event.MouseEvent event)
        {
        }

}
