Not possible to type non-ASCII characters in Termux via scrcpy

[LeGuipo]

Environment

• OS: Windows 10
• scrcpy version: 1.19
• installation method: Windows release..
• device model: Samsung A41
• Android version: 11
• Termux version: 0.117

Describe the bug I have no idea if it's really related to scrcpy, or adb, or termux itself, or my device… Anyway typing French text from my computer's keyboard usually works fine, but the Termux terminal emulator doesn't show non-ASCII characters like é è ç (ex: é is replaced by e, ç doesn't do anything). Some characters even execute key sequences that can mess up things.

The virtual keyboard works fine and a real hardware keyboard directly plugged into the device too.

It's related to a limitation of Android with text injection the way it is done via scrcpy: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/FAQ.md#special-characters-do-not-work

The accented characters are injected via several separate chars (which is a bit hacky): https://blog.rom1v.com/2018/03/introducing-scrcpy/#handle-accented-characters I'm not surprised that it is not handled properly in termux.

Thanks for the explanation. I did not read the FAQ carefully enough obviously.
