The characters attached to an NSEvent are always US English Roman even if the selected Keyman layout is, say, Hebrew or Dvorak.

OK, here is the test result with keyman ISIS Devanagari looks like:

with the fix -

Typing "j"  displays ज
Typing "ji" displays जजि
Typing "naam" displays नाअम
Typing "kala" displays काला

without the fix -

Typing "j"  displays j
Typing "ji" displays jजि
Typing "naam" displays naam
Typing "kala" displays kala
