First of all, thank you for your work on this library!

I have been trying to capture when the user enters ?, but that does not seem to work...

For my own keyboard layout, I know I could use Shift+/, but that will not match other layouts.

I know that it I capture '*' then I can use event.key === '?' and that does work, but seems to defeat the purpose of this library!

Another example is for capturing # key.

The different keyboard layouts seem to cause an issue with this:

For US layout, it can be done with Shift+3, but in the UK layout it is just #

How do we go ahead and use this library for these cases?
