scancode_to_ascii(3)		Allegro manual		  scancode_to_ascii(3)

NAME
       scancode_to_ascii  - Converts a scancode to an ASCII character. Allegro
       game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>

       int scancode_to_ascii(int scancode);

DESCRIPTION
       Converts the given scancode to an ASCII character for  that  key	 (man‐
       gling  Unicode  values), returning the unshifted uncapslocked result of
       pressing the key, or zero if the key isn't a  character-generating  key
       or  the	lookup	can't be done. The lookup cannot be done for keys like
       the F1-F12 keys or the cursor keys, and some drivers will  only	return
       approximate values. Generally, if you want to display the name of a key
       to the user, you should use the scancode_to_name function.

       Example:

	  int ascii;
	  ...
	  ascii = scancode_to_ascii(scancode);
	  allegro_message("You pressed '%c'\n", ascii);
