A keydown events succeeds for an English letter but not for an Hebrew one, sharing the same key
I am trying to listen to the event in which the keyboard key containing the Hebrew final-letter `ך` is pressed.
This key stands for both the English letter `L` and the Hebrew final letter `ך`.
If my operating system works in English mode, the following code works for `L`, but if I change the language mode to Hebrew, the code doesn't work for `ך`.
```js
window.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
if (event.ctrlKey && event.altKey && event.key === 'l' || event.ctrlKey && event.altKey && event.key === 'ך') {
document.querySelector(".cbntphone_icon").style.display = "none";
}
});
```
There is no error in the browser console when I click `CTRL+ALT+ך`.
Why would the code work only for the English letter?
