With standard Sikuli there is no chance to do that.

But if you have some knowledge about Java, it is rather easy, to directly use the Java Robot class and its key board methods (these are actually used with Sikuli).

The job to do: find out the key sequences you have to trigger for your special characters.

ok, for now i just use .replace to substitute the characters that ascii not recognize.
thanks RaiMan
