As made, keyboards "know" nothing of markets or languages.  They simply
produce a key code, depending on the key pressed.  It is the software
that translates that key code into the appropriate character.  My
keyboards are made for U.S. English,  but I have changed the layout to
International English.  So, somewhere, there is a mapping of key to
character and the maps are easy to change.  However, it would be nice to
be able to change an individual key within that map.  For example, I
have occasionally used the Greek layout, to get some math symbols.  One
thing I've noticed is where it's supposed to produce the ohm symbol, as
used in electronics, it instead produces the omega symbol, as used in
math.  I'd like to be able to change that.
