A bit off-topic, but here you go:

procedure SimulateKey(Code: UINT; Down: Boolean);

const

  KeyFlag : array[Boolean] of UINT = (KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0);

begin

  Keybd_Event(Code, MapVirtualKey(Code, 0), KeyFlag[Down], 0);

end;

procedure NormalKeyPress(C: Char);

var

  KeyCode,

  Shift  : UINT;

  ShiftPressed:boolean;

begin

   {get keyboard character}

  KeyCode := vkKeyScanEx(C, GetKeyboardLayout(0));

  begin

     ShiftPressed:=false;

     Shift := Hi(KeyCode);

      {check if SHIFT is required}

     if Shift in [1, 7] then ShiftPressed := True;

      {Send Shift Key if needed}

     if ShiftPressed then SimulateKey(VK_SHIFT, True);

      {send keypress, keydown=true}

     SimulateKey(LoByte(KeyCode),true);

      {send keypress, keydown=false}

     SimulateKey(LoByte(KeyCode),false);

      {release shift if required}

     if ShiftPressed then SimulateKey(VK_SHIFT, False);

  end;

end;

NormalKeyPress('@');
