read-char is a very low-level function, and it has many quirks in
this respect (it doesn't perform all the keyboard decoding usually
performed for read-key-sequence).
Fixing them is generally very difficult.

That's why I introduced `read-key'.  I don't guarantee that it'll fix
your problems, but if you can try and use it and tell us of problems you
find with it, that would be helpful.
