Details:

Calling [[NSString alloc] initWithCharacters:&keyCode length:1] returns nil
when keyCode is 0xFFFF. A quick look in the code shows that it treats this
code and 3 others as non-characters, which may be correct in some contexts.
But Cocoa allows creating an NSString containing only this character.

This is a low priority for me, as I've worked around it in my code now, but
may be something to look into someday.
