title: Catching special key events in android
body: <p>I have a onKeyDown event that can catch all the regular character events, like "a", "b", "c" and so on. But I can't figure out how to register special characters like "æ", "ø" and "å" from the Danish language. I have tried writing some code that logs the KeyCode when I press those special characters but it would seem like that just returns a 0.</p>
  
  <p>I have searched this site quite a bit and I found this:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4462045/catch-keypress-of-special-characters-with-android">Catch keypress of special characters with android</a></p>
  
  <p>But I am unsure if that can help me and how I should use it, if it is the way to go.</p>
