I'm starting to think that this is about wx putting a value to keyChar

in your systems default encoding instead of utf-8

unicode(evt.keyChar, 'latin-1') actually sounds pretty sane.

You just need to dynamically get the default encoding via a property instead of hardcoding it.

I think this is dabo.getEncoding(), so try

unicode(evt.keyChar, dabo.getEncoding())

Most of us don't see this error because our default encoding is utf-8 anyway.
