  The keymap is "boottime.kmap.gz", slightly changed.

  I use 8 bit mode (xlate).

  Lines with (6) diacritcs:

keymaps 0-2,4-6,8,12
keycode  27 = apostrophe       question         dead_tilde       Control_bracketright
	alt	keycode  27 = Meta_bracketright
keycode  40 = dead_acute       dead_acute       dead_circumflex
	control	keycode  40 = Control_g
	alt	keycode  40 = Meta_apostrophe
keycode  41 = degree           dead_diaeresis   bar              nul
	alt	keycode  41 = Meta_grave
keycode  43 = plus             asterisk         dead_grave            Control_backslash
	alt	keycode  43 = Meta_backslash
keycode  51 = comma            semicolon        dead_cedilla
	alt	keycode  51 = Meta_comma


  Using Unicode makes no difference.
