This is an Oracle Bug : 717130

In Windows, typing ALT+NUMPAD (i.e. ALT+6+5) will get an 'A'
character. But it doesn't work on AWT TextField.

Here is a simple Java testcase:

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.Event;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

public class Nagen extends Applet implements KeyListener {

    TextField tx = new TextField("", 10);
    
    public void init() {
        this.add(tx);
        tx.addKeyListener(this);
        tx.requestFocus();
    }
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event) {
        System.out.println("Its a KeyPressed event with Value " + event.getKeyChar());
        System.out.println("The keycode is " + event.getKeyCode());
    }

    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event) {
        System.out.println("Its a KeyTyped event with Value " + event.getKeyChar());
        System.out.println("The keycode is " + event.getKeyCode());
    }

    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event) {
        System.out.println("Its a KeyReleased event with Value " + event.getKeyChar());
        System.out.println("The keycode is " + event.getKeyCode());
    }

}
