Investigate  (INVALID CHARACTER) coming from glium #2

Open randomPoison opened 7 years ago

When you hit the "delete" character on my OS X machine, glutin sends  (U+F728 INVALID CHARACTER) along with VirtualKeyCode::Delete. I suspect this is a bug, as it sends a valid control character with VirtualKeyCode::Back. If this is intended behavior from glium then we'll handle it, but if not we could stand to send a PR to glium (or winit, as appropriate) fixing the issue.

Similar characters are sent when pressing the arrow keys. It looks like these characters are all "private use codepoints", which means they're probably OS X-specific. That'd explain why they're not considered control characters. I'd bet glium is meant to just pass these through for the application to handle, but it's still worth confirming.
