[🐛 Bug]: Send_keys does not accept underscore when I use chromedriver 98

What happened?

I use a python binding of selenium. After updating the version of chromedriver from 97 to 98, I found that send_keys raised the following exception when I include underscore into the input value.

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Cannot construct KeyEvent from non-typeable key

Could anyone take a look at the problem? Thank you

Note: it may be reproducible only on macOS.

How can we reproduce the issue?

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.google.com/')
search_box = driver.find_element_by_name("q")
search_box.send_keys('foo')
search_box.send_keys('foo_boo')

Relevant log output

This is definitely a Chromedriver issue. I have recreated it with the selenium test suite.
