Some special characters (e.g., the "@" sign) aren't sent

[phonon112358]

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Scrcpy version: 2.5
• Installation method: Windows release
• Device model: Samsung A20 SM_A202F
• Android version: 11

Describe the bug

scrcpy is a really awesome piece of software! I use it almost daily.

However, when I type @ or ~ into scrcpy, nothing happens, i.e., these special characters are not sent to my phone. Especially, when I want to enter my email address, this is extremely annoying.

I use a german keyboard (if that should be relevant). All other special characters that I tried, are sent, @and ~don't work. Perhaps, there are other special characters that I haven't tried yet which also don't work...

Is there any workaround for that already? Or is it a real bug?

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

• Start scrcpy
• Start any app on your phone in which you can write some text (e.g., a web browser or notes or something like that)
• Type @ (or alternatively ~)

Expected Behaviour

@ (or ~) gets written to the text field of the app.

Actual Behaviour

Nothing happens.

Use a UHID keyboard: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/master/doc/keyboard.md

@ is expected to work with the default SDK keyboard, though. Maybe --prefer-text can help.
