Yes, there is something strange in the way that the keys are reported using
different keyboards. A string does not necessarily correspond to a key event
or to a character value, apparently. It seems to depend on the keyboard one
is using. But I am not sure.

I am sorry but I do not have a solution to that at the moment. I would
appreciate if anybody can clarify what is the relation between keyboard,
string, character and key event.

You could do some test runs to male sure what string sends what key press. If
one positions  the cursor in a text editor and sends the commands there, one
can see what comes out.
I know that this is not ideal, but I hope it helps anyway.
