## Keyboard.sendCharacter() method
Dispatches a `keypress` and `input` event. This does not send a `keydown` or `keyup` event.
Signature:
```typescript
sendCharacter(char: string): Promise;
```
## Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| char | string | Character to send into the page. |
Returns:
Promise<void>
## Remarks
Modifier keys DO NOT effect [Keyboard.sendCharacter](./puppeteer.keyboard.sendcharacter.md). Holding down `Shift` will not type the text in upper case.
## Example
```js
page.keyboard.sendCharacter('嗨');
```
