Locale has nothing to do with it. The mapping between virtual keys and characters is determined by the keyboard layout. You are probably looking for [`MapVirtualKey`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-mapvirtualkeyw) (uses the keyboard layout active on the calling thread) or [`MapVirtualKeyEx`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-mapvirtualkeyexw) (takes keyboard layout as a parameter). – Igor Tandetnik Jun 28 '20 at 17:36

[Take a look here](https://stackoverflow.com/a/59041425/3439404). `[Win32Functions.KeyboardScan]::VKCodeToUnicodeHKL(0x44, 0xf0330419)` could help if you use real HKL instead my `0xf0330419` ([Russian Mnemonic](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/globalization/keyboards/kbdrum.html)). – JosefZ Jun 29 '20 at 11:01
