Handling Card Reader Input with Different Keyboard Layouts in JavaScript/TypeScript

I’m currently facing an issue with a card reader that involves keyboard layout and character encoding when reading card data within a ReactJS application. My card reader acts as a keyboard input device, and its output is affected by the current keyboard layout setting of the operating system. When a card is swiped with the keyboard layout set to French, the card reader seems to interpret the input as characters instead of numerical digits. Switching the keyboard layout to English resolves the issue, but this is not a practical solution for our French-speaking users.
