I have problem with pressing a special letter (Chinese, cyrillic etc.) via java robot class. I hava a method to press keys which works as alt+keycode. I cant convert some special letters to corrent keycode. So how can I solve it. Thanx

For Example:

     KeyStroke ks = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke('a', 0);
     System.out.println(ks.getKeyCode());
     Output : 97
     //but if I convert 'ş' to keycode
     //Output is 351 . So alt+351= '_' The Correct combination is alt+0254 for 'ş'

KeyPress:

public static void doType(int a, int keyCodes)
        throws AWTException {
    Robot robot = new Robot();
    robot.keyPress(VK_ALT);
    robot.keyPress(keyCodes);
    robot.keyRelease(keyCodes);
    robot.keyRelease(VK_ALT);
}

'a' evaluates to 97 in UTF-8. 

    KeyStroke.getKeyCode()

simply returns an integer representation of 'a'.
