I guess I was a bit unclear. I do have handlers for both
kTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvent,
and kTextInputUpdateActiveInputArea on the WINDOW. The problem only
occur when
I do not have any edit control (with it's own handlers). I need to
initiate an editing session (and create an edit control) of the
selected cell when the user start typing. This works fine when the
input method is a keyboard, (and some japanese input methods), but if
the user clicks on a character in the character palette, I do not get
any of these events to the WINDOW handler.
So my question is: Are there any other events which I should look for
to be able to determine which
unicode char the user d.clicked in the character palette. Should not
all input methods provide a similar set of events under identical
circumstances, so that we do not need different handling of unicode
data from different input methods ?

I have a situation where a spreadsheet cell is selected, but there

starting such a session in Excel, typing any "glyph" generating key
should start the session. If the keyboard is used, I get the
appropriate "unicodeforkeyevent" event to the handler installed on
the window. However, I do not get this event if e.g., double
clicking a character in the character palette (I only get
unicodeforkeyevent from the character palette after a unicode
control is present). Hence my question is: Which event should I
look for to get the appropriate Unicode from a character palette
(or any non-keyboard input method) to place in a "to be created"
text edit control ?
