Each key has it's own scan code which is sent to the computer. The
BIOS or Win translates the scan codes into ascii (or whatever the
locale lingo is).

If you use  ReadConsoleInput(stdin,&input_record,1,&num_read);
you can get all that info.
input_record.Event.KeyEvent.dwControlKeyState is 0x0100 for the keypad
enter.

For GUI, you might look at MapVirtualKey()
Might also look into LoadKeyboardLayout()
Click Overview in the help, and find where it talks about it many
pages into it.
I have no idea is this can be done in GUI, as Win likes to make things
"simple" for us.
