Alt-Graph Keys not recognized on Windows

Issue
On Windows, characters which are entered using Alt-Graph+Key combinations are not recognized, but instead only the regular Key.
To demonstrate the issue, i've adopted one of the official examples (attached). On both runs, Alt-Graph+Q was pressed to produce the at-Symbol (@):
Windows 11 (English) with german keyboard layout:
[KEY_DOWN]: keycode=[217], char=[], modifiers=[00000000](LCTRL)
[KEY_DOWN]: keycode=[220], char=[], modifiers=[00000000](ALTGR)
[KEY_DOWN]: keycode=[017], char=[], modifiers=[00000000](Q)
[KEY_CHAR]: keycode=[017], char=[q], modifiers=[00000242](Q)
[KEY_UP]: keycode=[017], char=[], modifiers=[00000000](Q)
[KEY_UP]: keycode=[217], char=[], modifiers=[00000000](LCTRL)
[KEY_UP]: keycode=[220], char=[], modifiers=[00000000](ALTGR)
Ubuntu 20.04 with german keyboard layout:
[KEY_DOWN]: keycode=[220], char=[], modifiers=[00000000](ISO_Level3_Shift)
[KEY_DOWN]: keycode=[017], char=[], modifiers=[00000000](q)
[KEY_CHAR]: keycode=[017], char=[@], modifiers=[00000220](q)
[KEY_UP]: keycode=[017], char=[], modifiers=[00000000](q)
[KEY_UP]: keycode=[220], char=[], modifiers=[00000000](ISO_Level3_Shift)
Only the later one correctly produces the @-symbol.
How to reproduce:
Build the attached application on Windows (MinGW, Allegro 5.2.8) and enter a Alt-Graph generated symbol like @ (Alt-Graph+Q).
Expected behavior:
Windows should recognized the keypress in the same way as Linux does.
