There's not much you can do in that situation. Only two safe options I can consider are to not send anything, or send '0'. In practice I don't think this is a huge problem, since the 'XT' key code set covers everything you're likely to come across in the real world. In addition, QEMU uses XT keycodes internally, so if you can't find a XT keycode mapping on the client, then by implication, QEMU won't be able to handle the key anyway.
