This PR changes the logicalKey value of a RawKeyboardEvent that has a multi-char character.

Previously its logical key is a unicode key, whose 32-bit value part is the concatenation of the two characters. This is inproper because:

  • The resulting value is not a proper UniCode value. In fact, it will trigger an exception when being converted to keyLabel.
  • It incorrectly assumes that there won't be more than 2 characters, and every character can fit in the 16-bit BMP area.

With this PR, its logical key is its key code mapped to the macOS plane.

This fixes the macOS-channel part of #82673.

I agree that the two character limit isn't right, but doesn't this disable all multi-char input, like emojis?

This change only affects the logical key's value (and consequently, the keyLabel of the logical key). It doesn't affect the event's character, or the ability to process this event.

And if that's the concern, yes, a multi-char emoji event (if that's a thing) will have a minted logical key. What else can we give for this event?
