Devices and methods for providing Unicode support in traditional operating systems are provided. Regarding the apparatus and method, a focus hook module, a keyboard hook module, and a keystroke translation module are registered with the legacy operating system. The focus hook module determines the currently active application and whether the currently active application is Unicode-capable. The keyboard hook module receives keyboard events from the input interface and sends these keyboard events to the keystroke translation module. The keystroke conversion module converts keyboard events into Unicode characters that are sent back to the keyboard hook module. The keyboard hook module then stores the Unicode characters in temporary storage memory, such as the clipboard. The keyboard hook module then issues commands to the application to paste the contents of temporary storage into the currently active application.
