    Description

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
      With KeyEvent.getExtendedKeyCode you can get the key code for letters like å ä ö. But the robot class in java can't print them uf you try to use keyPress and keyRelease. It really ought to be able to print all uff-8 characters (which now more or less is the standard).

      JUSTIFICATION :
      There are other languages in the world - not just the English one.
