    Hi,

    I am using Input.inputString to handle user input. When we type not ASCII characters(Russian letters for example) we get only one byte of symbol unicode representation. For letter 'р' we get '@' and so on. How we can solve this problem?

    P.S. Unity GUI.TextField works right.

    Thanks.

    Here's workaround:

    OnGUI() is called multiple times per frame and you get characters one by one, but these are proper Unicode characters.
