Description
Steps to reproduce
When using KeyboardListener, character key events are triggered correctly with the English keyboard (IME).
However, when using the Korean IME, no events are received at all.
This issue did not occur in Flutter 3.22.2, but after migrating to Flutter 3.35.1, KeyboardListener no longer works properly with the Korean input method.
Additionally, this issue does not occur in the master channel version 3.33.0-1.0.pre-1299.
Could you please take a look at this issue?
Expected results
Key events — for character keys — should be accurately detected, regardless of the active input method, including Korean, Japanese, and Chinese IMEs.
Actual results
When using Korean, Japanese, or Chinese IMEs, KeyboardListener does not receive any key events. As a result, key handling logic that works with the English IME completely fails for these input methods.

setState(() {
_text = '';
