Description

I came across `skhd -k "return"` by googling but `skhd -k "ü"`doesn't work. Is there another flag for that?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the difference between `skhd -k "return"` and `skhd -k "ü"` on macOS, then trace the command-line handling for the `-k` option. Determine whether the daemon can represent and emit the requested UTF-8 character, and consider the issue done when a documented invocation reliably inserts it.
