Parameters

Attributes

RegisterAttribute

Remarks

Gets the Unicode character generated by the specified key and meta key state combination.

Returns the Unicode character that the specified key would produce when the specified meta bits (see MetaKeyKeyListener) were active.

Returns 0 if the key is not one that is used to type Unicode characters.

If the return value has bit KeyCharacterMap#COMBINING_ACCENT set, the key is a "dead key" that should be combined with another to actually produce a character -- see KeyCharacterMap#getDeadChar -- after masking with KeyCharacterMap#COMBINING_ACCENT_MASK.
