could cryptsetup be "insensitive" to the configured keyboard layout and adopt/toggle the US/ASCII layout ?
as the physical keys on the keyboard do not move ;-), the end user would enter the password he wants and cryptsetup would only receive ASCII characters...
let's say I use "zézé" (french keyboard) as a password : well for me, as an end user, changing context doesn't change anything, I always press the same keys [Z] and [é2~] and I always think my password is "zézé", but the password that protects my data is in fact w2w2.

I have seen enough cases when users memorized Russian passwords and
entered ASCII characters based on keyboard layout mapping (they actually
mentally entered *Cyrillic* characters). I do not have any
scientifically relevant data though.
