Notes

UniUntranslateKey reverses the translation performed by UniTranslateKey. This is used to create a complete keyboard packet when an already translated character is entered. This is used when the input to the event is the translated character.

Typically, the Unicode character or virtual/dead key is given. If both are given, UniUntranslateKey processes the virtual/dead key before the Unicode character.
