@subsection input_char Text input
If you wish to receive Unicode code point input, set a character callback.
GLFW supports text input in the form of a stream of
[Unicode code points](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode), as produced by the
operating system text input system. Unlike key input, text input obeys keyboard
layouts and modifier keys and supports composing characters using
[dead keys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key). Once received, you can
encode the code points into
[UTF-8](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8) or any other encoding you prefer.
Because an `unsigned int` is 32 bits long on all platforms supported by GLFW,
you can treat the code point argument as native endian
[UTF-32](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-32).
There are two callbacks for receiving Unicode code points. If you wish to
offer regular text input, set a character callback.

glfwSetCharCallback(window, character_callback);

GLFW has two primary coordinate systems: the _virtual screen_ and the window

Window and monitor positions are specified relative to the upper-left corners of
their content areas, while cursor positions are specified relative to the window
client area.
Both the virtual screen and the client area coordinate systems have the X-axis
pointing to the right and the Y-axis pointing down.
The origin of the window client area coordinate system is also the position of
the window, meaning you can translate client area coordinates to the virtual
screen by adding the window position. The window frame, when present, extend
out from the client area but does not affect the window position.
Window and monitor positions are specified as the position of the upper-left
corners of their content areas relative to the virtual screen, while cursor
positions are specified relative to a window's client area.
