Just reading an article with this commands that I hope can help:

For a different keymap, install:

$ sudo apt install -y console-data

Available keymaps are listed in /usr/share/keymaps/.

Select a different keymap by running:

$ dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
$ setupcon

Enable use of desired keymap when entering LUKS passphrase in GRUB by rebuilding initramfs:

$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

Ciao,
