USB HID usage page 0x10 Unicode
« on: Fri, 27 February 2015, 06:43:20 »
Hello fellow geekhackers!

I've been looking at a way to send Unicode characters directly from the keyboard, and found section 17 in http://www.usb.org/developers/hidpage/Hut1_12v2.pdf, which seems to imply that using the HID usage page 0x10, you can send two-byte unicode characters.
Has anyone tried this? Run across it in the wild? Do actual OSes support this?

Thanks for any help,

Peter

As far as I can tell, this is what you use when you want to send unicode from your computer to a USB device. For instance, to show text on its display.

Yeah, your main problem here is OS support.  However, if you're willing to write your own driver I believe you could make it happen.
