On MacOS-Desktop it is possible to set the keyboard-mode to unicode. Should be usefull on IPad with MagicKeyboard.

    Hi, it's related to the "Microsoft Remote Desktop"-App on IPadOS and MacOS.
    On MacOS there is an option to switch the Keyboard Mode (Connection\Keyboard Mode > ScanCode vs UniCode). Setting Keyboard Mode to UniCode helps to use your Mac-Keyboard as usual (@{}, etc...).
    On IPadOS there isn't such an option, but it would be much helpful to use the IPad and Microsoft Remote Desktop to work on a Windows based Developer Environment (VM in Azure).

    This would be extremely helpful, but I think the iPad version of RDP is already using Unicode and the missing option is to switch to Scancode. All HTML5 powered text entry on websites (like for example a console for a virtual machine) can not be used in Unicode, as entered text is only transmitted to said website in Scancode mode.
