Fantastic! I've gotten it to work, and it works beautifully! Thank
you, James (and everyone else) for helping me with this.
For archival purposes, here's my code:
CGEventSourceRef eventSource =
CGEventSourceCreate(kCGEventSourceStateHIDSystemState);
CGEventRef keyEventDown = CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent(eventSource, 0,
true);
NSString * characters = ;//some UTF16 string acquired from
somewhere. in my case, an NSData object
UniChar buffer;
for (int i = 0; i < [characters length]; i++) {
[characters getCharacters:&buffer range:NSMakeRange(i, 1)];
keyEventDown = CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent(eventSource, 1, true);
CGEventKeyboardSetUnicodeString(keyEventDown, 1, &buffer);
CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, keyEventDown);
CFRelease(keyEventDown);
}
CFRelease(eventSource);
Thanks again for all your help!

Your source file is probably encoded as UTF-8, so the pound
character is getting interpreted as 2 bytes of UTF-8, not a single
UTF-16 character. Don't try to enter Unicode directly in your source.
Lastly, I'm not sure how I can convert my NSString into a UniChar
array (which is what the function wants).
See the getCharacters: method.
