Decoding password letters.

[MLGsuperGame414]

How can I go about making a batch file that can decode password characters if you paste it in the batch file? Characters like

*****
and
●●●●●●

copy/paste probably copy/pastes the literal ones.

The program itself knows what they are but just displays those characters.

There is a program called snadboy's revelation that you can use to see what's behind them.. But how it works I don't know.. and how a bat file could read them, I don't know. But somebody might

The program is processing the virtual key codes but it is displaying asterisks instead. You can't decode these asterisks because they are not encoded

Wee bit off topic, but I wrote a simple C program that waited for a key to be pressed and returned the scancode of the key pressed. I then made a vacth script that used a FOR loop to scan a file holding definitions for each scancode relating to any key a-z, A-Z, 0-9, etc, etc. Using this external program allowed my script to accept a password without using SET /P which would cause the password to show up on-screen

Yeah, yeah, it's kinda off-topic, but hey.
