Non-ASCII characters in Input.inputString in OSX

I'm trying to catch user input, including non-ascii characters, such as the nordic æøå characters. On windows Input.inputString returns those characters (even though the documentation says only ASCII characters are returned. On OSX, however, inputString fails to return non-ASCII characters.

Is there another way of getting characters from keypresses that will work for non-ascii characters as well?

Same issue with Linux. Unity 4.5.5p4, Input.inputString on Windows seems to accept anything, Linux and $$anonymous$$acOS (latter one untested but according to reports that's just the same) it does only accept ASCII as per the documentation states.

Practically that makes Input.inputString rather useless :( GUI.TextField does work fine with non-ASCII though but they use Unity Events internally ins$$anonymous$$d of Input.inputString.
