Well the keymap works, but the problem is that in G-I environment the ecoding
used seems to be iso8859-1 and not utf-8. Needless to say this is not good at all.

See attached image to understand the problem

The diplayed characters should be "âăşţî ÂĂŞŢÎ".

That is:

a circumflex, a breve, s cedilla, t cedilla, i circumflex (and their capital
counterparts).

The second, "ă", is not correct either, since instead of a breve is a tilde
above the a.

The df_input app displayed the same issue. I did my tests in the edit used for
static IP configuration :-D
