So, what results are you getting?  AFAIK arrow keys don't translate to
unicode at all.  If num-lock is on, the keypad keys should translate to the
digit characters (0-9).  Remember, event.key.keysym.sym contains the actual
key, while event.key.keysym.unicode contains the translation of the key (and
only if unicode translation is enabled).
