I am not sure, but maybe the Fn key is a hardware level modifier...

Yes that's what it is, i guess what im after is more the keycode when pressed in combination with another key (Fn + F7 for example) rather than the Fn key alone since it's technically not a key but the keyboard substitutes function keys for non existant keys when the Fn key is pressed. For some reason this won't show up.

I'm saying it might not communicate a key code unless it the keyboard is wired to do so, for the number pad or something. Pressing Fn G won't register as anything because the keyboard didn't broadcast anything. Fn 0 will register as KP_/ if your keyboard is set up to have the number pad / on that key.
I'm just guessing though and hope someone who really knows what they are talking about can help you.
