Input unicode string with pyautogui

问题

I'm creating an autotesting app with pyautogui lib. I want to use typewrite method to input text into forms. But some of my input strings have unicode characters in them. For example:

Næst

According to documentation typewrite can only press single-character keys. So it just ignores the æ character.

Can you advise some simple workaround?

I know this thread is old, but for the sake of the topic I managed to get around it using pyperclip in an easier manner in my opinion.

Rather than trying to make pyautogui to type special characters, copy them to the clipboard using pyperclip and then use pyautogui to paste them. For instance on Windows:

import pyautogui
import pyperclip

pyperclip.copy("It's leviOsa, not lêvioçÁ!")
pyautogui.hotkey("ctrl", "v")

Found one quite simple one.

In Mac and Linux there is an opportunity to input unicode characters using their hex codes. There is article on wikipedia about that. I'm writing my program for Mac so I enabled Unicode Hex Input in my keyboard settings and wrote this code:

def type_unicode(word):
    for c in word:
        c = '%04x' % ord(c)
        pyautogui.keyDown('optionleft')
        pyautogui.typewrite(c)
        pyautogui.keyUp('optionleft')
