Hey David,
I don't mind help from competition if you don't mind helping the
competition ;) .
The problem I am thinking of is that say someone has a Japanese
keyboard and they want to type a Japanese unicode character, say 0x4586
(actual char: '䖆')....they do this through some certain keystrokes.
Then they move to a US keyboard and still want to send that same
Japanese unicode character. Now there is no way to generate this on a
regular US-101 or 102 keyboard (unless you have the Unicode Hex Input
method on and type "Option+4+5+8+6" (like I did to generate the above
character)).
So basically I would want to instead of sending keystrokes to just send
unicode characters directly. Is there anything like that for OS X?

I know that CGPostKeyboardEvent() can be used to simulate keystrokes

If you do not mind some help from the competition: You need to send
all the keystrokes that would be needed on the physical keyboard to
generate that unicode character. For example, to generate an e with an
accent, you would send "option-e" followed by "e".
Hope this helps,
david.
