encrypted root - change keyboard layout



Hello everyone!

As the subject suggests: I've encrypted my root partition with a super
secret passphrase. The problem is that there is one character that I
don't know how to enter with the english keyboard layout.

I get to the (initramfs) prompt. What can I do from there on?

I've checked Debian Wiki [0], Arch Wiki [1] and Stackexchange [2] but
they didn't help altogether. I don't have dpkg-reconfigure or
initramfs.conf.

What am I missing?

Thanks for your time!

greetins
