And what do you want XBMC to do with it when it receives it? Display a notification?

No I want the user to be able to enter text, for example for searches or file renaming, with the keyboard on the phone and not by selecting each letter on the TV on the "soft-keyboard"via up-down-left-right-enter.

Thanks everyone, I got it with the hex(0xf100+ord(letter)) method.
Cheers

PLEASE
keep developing this project, it's EXACTLY what I'm looking for.
We can type fast on the smartphone but it's a PITA to select letters from the xbmc screen.
thanks

Ooooh, that'd be excellent if we could use this to send shortcut keys via android's keypad when we're on the remote.

Which shortcut keys? What functionality do they have? Combos/special characters like "Alt-F1" or so will not be possible with the technique that I used (nad's suggestion), but maybe some other way.
By the way, my program is for nokia (Symbian OS) phones, not for android, to prevent misunderstandings.
