It looks like keybd_event wants a vitual key code as the first
parameter, not an ASCII character.
Take a look at VkKeyScan()

keybd_event( VkKeyScan(*character), 0, 0, 0 );

or

PostMessage( handle, WM_KEYDOWN , VkKeyScan(*character), 0 );
PostMessage( handle, WM_KEYUP , VkKeyScan(*character), 0xC0000000 );

Search your Help for "Virtual-Key Codes" for a list.
VK_RETURN
\n is undefined

You already discovered that period is
VK_DECIMAL	6E	Decimal key 
otherwise known as ASCII  'n'
