a string containing an approximation of the text that
would result from this keypress. The only correct way to handle text
input of text is using input methods (see #GtkIMContext), so this
field is deprecated and should never be used.
(gdk_unicode_to_keyval() provides a non-deprecated way of getting
an approximate translation for a key.) The string is encoded in the
encoding of the current locale (Note: this for backwards compatibility:
strings in GTK+ and GDK are typically in UTF-8.) and NUL-terminated.
In some cases, the translation of the key code will be a single
NUL byte, in which case looking at @length is necessary to distinguish
it from the an empty translation.
