The input functions deal with numeric values, range 0-2^32-1, which are the 
same in any encoding. The difference between ASCII, UTF-8, Unicode, etc, is 
just what happens when you want to store that number in memory, which you 
never need to do (other than as an int, which is different to putting it in 
a string).

The same as getch() in DOS. ie. anything that has meaning in itself, as an 
actual keypress rather than a modifier which will only affect the meaning of 
subsequent keypresses.
