            Bug ID: 233031
           Summary: Better support for danish keyboard layout
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc

I am trying to get better support for danish keyboard layout in TTY (or
whatever its called, not X11).

In kbdmod i see 3 danish keyboard layouts to choose from (dk.kbd, dk.acc.kbd,
dk.macbook.kbd).
But they don't seem to work correctly.
I'm not sure how much is the keyboard layout and how much is the characters not
being in the font or whatever the problem is.

The following is tested with "dk.acc.kbd".

If i create a file in vi and type æøåÆØÅé it shows:
\xc3\xa6\xc3\xb8\xc3\xa5\xc3\x86\xc3\x98\xc3\x85\xc3\xa9
If i save the file and do cat filename it shows:
æøåÆ?Åé
If i open it in ee it shows:
æøå~F~X~Eé

In the terminal (TTY):
I can only write accent keys (dead keys) like ´ and ¨ alone.
I can not combine them with another keys so i can not write éóëöêôèò etc.
Also i can not write æøåÆØÅ with any of the 3 danish keyboard layouts.
Nothing is written if i type æøåÆØÅ.

Testing FreeBSD-13.0-CURRENT-amd64.vhd (r339979)in VirtualBox.
