Look at the application. Some seem to access the keyboard at a lower level.
Also, this seems a little obvious: prepare a few lines in the application,
save it, and open it in a binary editor or a text editor that will tell you
the character codes. The application may actually be getting the correct
characters in the document, but you do not see them correctly because the
application is using a wrong font.
