I'm currently cribbing from here:

And I got rid of the non-uchr section. I can require Leopard in this case.

Sweet, I will take a look at this and post back when I have results or questions. Thanks!

I think you'd ask the NSEvent for its -keyCode, then pass that key code to UCKeyTranslate() with all the modifier key state (including shift) turned off in order to get a unicode string for what that key would mean if the user hadn't been pressing any modifiers.
Hope that helps,

This way works well if you target Leopard only, but some layout do not have uchr resources on Tiger.
At least on Leopard, you can retreive the keyboard layout like that:
TISInputSourceRef input = TISCopyCurrentKeyboardLayoutInputSource();
CFDataRef uchr = TISGetInputSourceProperty(input, kTISPropertyUnicodeKeyLayoutData);
const UCKeyboardLayout *layout = (const UCKeyboardLayout * )CFDataGetBytePtr(uchr);
If you need help for Tiger, just ask, I already did it too.
