@subsection input_char Unicode character input @subsection input_char Text input
If you wish to receive Unicode code point input, set a character callback. GLFW supports text input in the form of a stream of
[Unicode code points](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode), as produced by the
operating system text input system. Unlike key input, text input obeys keyboard
layouts and modifier keys and supports composing characters using
[dead keys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key). Once received, you can
encode the code points into
[UTF-8](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8) or any other encoding you prefer.
Because an `unsigned int` is 32 bits long on all platforms supported by GLFW,
you can treat the code point argument as native endian
[UTF-32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-32).
There are two callbacks for receiving Unicode code points. If you wish to
offer regular text input, set a character callback.
