How to use type() / paste() with other encodings (cyrillic)

Asked by Andrew

i cant force sikuli to paste or type cyrillic texts on windows 7
both win-1251 and utf-8 tried

when pasting it shows questions marks or empty rectangles for symbols in textfields

when typing it shows error :
File "C:\Program Files\Sikuli X\sikuli-script.jar\Lib\sikuli\Region.py", line 160, in type
 at org.sikuli.script.Region.type_ch(Region.java:904)

type does not work with other characters than the basic (ascii) characters (+ some special characters) related to the US qwerty keyboard layout.

So use paste() (supports utf-8) for the text part and type() only for the available special functional keys.

Can you help with this problem?
