I'd rather avoid the risk of intercepting another message type. Was there not enough information in the WM_KEYDOWN event? TranslateMessage() is able to make sense of it somehow, so there should be something there.

I analyzed a hex dump of the entire WM_KEYDOWN message, and there is nothing there. TranslateMessage() is a Windows API call and need not be limited to the information contained in the parameter. Perhaps there is something in adjacent memory, but even if so it'd be riskier to access that than to use the provided API.

Could the surrogate handling be a separate commit? Makes it easier to see which parts are connected.

I could, but only by making a first commit that exhibits wrong behavior w.r.t. surrogate pairs. Would you like that?

codePoint = ucsCode;
}
uint32_t keySym = ucs2keysym(codePoint);
uint32_t keyCode = 0x100 + keySym; // Fake key code

Keysym is 32-bit, so this is not going to work. Perhaps something similar to the universal keysyms? I.e. 0x01000000 | codePoint?

Good point, will change to what you suggested. Another option is actually a constant, e.g. keyCode = 0x123, since we expect only one concurrent VK_PACKET key down.

I guess this is a safety net? Good idea, but I think it is a bit hidden here. Perhaps instead:

Will make more explicit as you suggest, but I will leave the 0x10ffff limit since code points above that values are not valid.
