                    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.
