This is generated in response to the SendInput() Windows API call, if that in turn is passed an KEYBDINPUT structure with KEYEVENTF_UNICODE set. That method of input generation is used by programs such as 'WinCompose' to send an arbitrary Unicode character as if it had been typed at the keyboard, even if the keyboard doesn't actually provide a key for it. Like VK_PROCESSKEY, this key code is an exception to our usual policy of manually translating keystrokes: we handle it by calling TranslateMessage, to get back the Unicode character it contains as a WM_CHAR message. (If that Unicode character in turn is outside the BMP, it may come back as a pair of WM_CHARs in succession containing UTF-16 surrogates; if so, that's OK, because the new Unicode WM_CHAR handler can cope.)

PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
