Only ASCII characters are contained in the inputString.
The string can contain two special characters which should be handled:
Character "\b" represents backspace.
Character "\n" represents return or enter.
// Reading typed input from the keyboard // (eg, the user entering their name). // You need to attach this script to an object with // a GUIText component.
