Sorry, I don't know SuSE's version of pinentry.  You may want to try
the latest one (0.7.0) from ftp.gnupg.org.

That is the correct value for a regular US-keyboard.  Some characters
need to be escaped using percent sequence, thus we also need to escape
the percent character itself.  gpg-agent de-escapes the stuff when
reading from pinentry.
