What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Run "xdotool type UNICODE" where "UNICODE" is the unicode character in question. For example "xdotool type ∀" (for the U+2200, Universal Quantifier character) 2. 3. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect xdotool to type the Unicode character I asked it to type, but instead xdotool returns without any output. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xdotool 20090815 on gentoo linux Please provide any additional information below. Information on the Unicode character I used in my example above: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2200/index.htm |

xdotool only knows how to type characters that have keys associated with them. Also, it relies on the possibly-wonky Xlib conversion functions that help you go from character, to key symbol (like "caret"), to key code. Do you have a key on your keyboard that types this U+2200 character? It's possible there are workarounds we can try that will not require a keyboard key that types the character(s) in question. |
