# Keyboard.sendCharacter() method

Dispatches a `keypress` and `input` event. This does not send a `keydown` or `keyup` event.

#### Signature:

```typescript
class Keyboard {
  sendCharacter(char: string): Promise<void>;
}
```

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type   | Description                      |
| --------- | ------ | -------------------------------- |
| char      | string | Character to send into the page. |

**Returns:**

Promise&lt;void&gt;

## Remarks

Modifier keys DO NOT effect [Keyboard.sendCharacter](./puppeteer.keyboard.sendcharacter.md). Holding down `Shift` will not type the text in upper case.

## Example

```ts
page.keyboard.sendCharacter('嗨');
```
