Re: single-key-description no good for Japanese and Chinese chars

    I don't think it is unreasonable for single-key-description to use the 
    same description for these many thousands of characters especially if 
    they are not produced directly by any keyboard in common use.

If those values are meaningless junk, then it is not crucial what happens
for those argument values.  But if they are meaningful, then they should be
handled right.

Handa, can you tell us whether these values are meaningful?
Please ask Drew for more info if you need it.

                                                                  There is 
    nothing in the documentation that suggests that it should generate a 
    unique value for every possible key sequence.

It goes without saying (assuming they are valid and not junk).
The purpose of this function is to tell the user what event it was.
That means distinguishing it from any other valid input event.
The output also is used for representing keyboard macros.
