full disk encryption password + keyboard-layout

[fred]

When installing Xubuntu with full disk encryption and passwords with special characters it is not possible to login. The password is input before selecting keyboard-layout, and is not viewable. As a result I had to install three times:
First I could not log in - wrong password.
The second time I was meticulous when entering my password - but still wrong password.
The third time I figured it could be something with the keyboard-layout at this point in the install-process, not my input. This is not at all obvious at install, and people may conclude that full disk encryption does not work since keyboard-layout at install and at first boot is not necessarily the same.
