Invoking electirc command programmatically

[PT <mailshield.gg@mailnull.com>]

I have this electric function which inserts the character it is bound to  
and does something else too.

(defun my-electric-character (&optional arg)
   "Insert the typed character and pop up a completion buffer"
   (interactive "P")
   (self-insert-command (prefix-numeric-value arg))
   ...)

How can I invoke this function from my program with a certain character,  
so that it behaves just like if the user typed the character on the  
keyboard?
