What is the keycode of these characters? - WPF

I'm working ona code editor based on Windows Presentation Foundation(WPF). I wanna automatically add close bracket when the user add an open brakcet. But in System.Windows.Input.Key, I can't find a keycode for brackets. I also need a few more character codes mentioned below in the code section.

//  Brackets, square brackets and curly brackets "("  ")" "[" "]" "{" "}" 
//  Lower/Greater: "<" ">"
//  Equal, quote and single quote " ' =

private void htmlcode_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
   if(e.Key = /* the keycode that I need */)
   {
      htmlcode.Text = htmlcode.Text + "<close variant of key>";
   } 
}

I need the names of these characters in System.Windows.Input.Key enum.

The System.Windows.Input.Key enum has no values for these characters.

You may however handle the PreviewTextInput event instead of KeyDown:

private void htmlcode_PreviewTextInput(object sender, TextCompositionEventArgs e)
{
    switch (e.Text)
    {
        case "{":
            // add "}"
            break;
        // etc
    }
}
