When you press the "H" key (as it is denoted on your keyboard) the VM reports this as the "H" key which is then interpreted by Windows to be the lowercase "h" character, which it reports as well. Similarly, if you would press Shift-H, it would report that you pressed the shift key, the "H" key which then resulted in the uppercase "H" character. Makes sort of sense dunnit? ;-)
The Linux VM gives the lower-case version. I'm guessing this is a bug.
And why is the character repeated in the 6th field?
Because the Windows VM is fully Unicode capable and produces both MacRoman as well as UTF-32 for maximum compatibility.
I just tried this. The results are very interesting. Already having UTF-32 coming in from the VM certainly saves me a lot of work.
I'll see if I can find an Asian Squeak image somewhere and see how it handles input. From what I read on Wikipedia, some input methods use a small GUI widget to aid with input.

Also, under the Windows VM, modifier key pressed and releases /are/ sent to the VM.
Yes, indeed. You are pressing that shift key, no? Why would the VM not report that? Might as well decide not to report the Q key ;-)
What I meant here was that the Linux VM does not send the modifier key events at all, and then I discovered that the Windows VM does. Again, I assume this is a bug.
