Hi Ben.
Yes, there is a bug in orca that prevents obtain the unicode value of a 
character when using a laptop layout.
The problem is in the file laptop_keyboardmap.py around line 138 and 
line 139.
The lines are:

    ("comma", defaultModifierMask, ORCA_MODIFIER_MASK,
    "reviewSpellCurrentCharacterHandler",2),

I think that to fix we need to include the following lines after the 
above lines:

    ("comma", defaultModifierMask, ORCA_MODIFIER_MASK,
    "reviewUnicodeCurrentCharacterHandler", 3),
Thanks.
