On encryption key input the keyboard layout defaults to US,
which breaks special characters (for other layouts).

In "Encrypting your partitions":
Hint, that the keyboard input is factual US, so non-US keyboards
can only use a subset of input keys.
[Hints in the CLI on setup would be very helpful as well]

A quick explanation of used methods
(including how entropy of never-written space is ensured)
would be great as well.
