What are the keycodes `getwch` returns?

I'm using msvcrt.getwch to make an interactive prompt in Python targeting Windows.

The documentation says:

Read a keypress and return the resulting character as a byte string. Nothing is echoed to the console. This call will block if a keypress is not already available, but will not wait for Enter to be pressed. If the pressed key was a special function key, this will return '\000' or '\xe0'; the next call will return the keycode. The Control-C keypress cannot be read with this function.

I have found F10 to use the former - \x00D, and F11 to use the latter \xe0\x85.

However this doesn't say what the keycodes are. This is important as I don't have a \xe0 key (à), among other keys, and so can't test the output of entering this value.

For example, I've tried pasting this key into the prompt in two ways.

• CTRL-v - Which enters the keycode \x16. Which is the synchronous idle key in ASCII. ^[1] (Which is the key combination I entered.)

• Right clicking (Paste in PS) - Results in just \xe0 being entered.

  I'm unsure if Power Shell and Visual C++ are kindly letting me paste escape sequences, or this is the actual handling of that key.

Given that msvcrt seems to be a wrapper around Visual C++ , I also looked at that documentation too.

The _getch and _getwch functions read a single character from the console without echoing the character. None of these functions can be used to read CTRL+C. When reading a function key or an arrow key, each function must be called twice; the first call returns 0 or 0xE0, and the second call returns the actual key code.

This also doesn't say what the keycodes are.

I've looked online but I can only find information about virtual keycodes, however this says F10 is \x79, and F11 is \x7A. As this function isn't returning these values, I know it's not referring to these keycodes.
