Is it possible to provide Unicode input to a console app, and read the Unicode char/string via Console.ReadKey()?
I know Unicode works when reading the input via other methods, but unfortunately I need to use the ‘interception’ feature provided by ReadKey.
Update:
When pasting a Unicode character such as U+03BB (λ) into the console, 3 keys are read.
I have tried to see if this is some kind of encoding, but can not see anything.
Now this just weird. IIRC my testing was on 32-bit, probably Vista.
Now tested the same on Win7 64-bit, the bloody thing works!
So either a Vista or 32-bit bug.
Can someone please confirm this?
