The word should indeed be "Belarussian" as all these are keyboard
layout names where one most often uses languages adjectives...

Anyway, I'm suspecting something deeper here. Remember that d-i uses a
font reduction mechanism. This means that a lot of glyphs are removed
from the bterm-unifont font at build time, in order to save space.

The characters to be kept are determined from a special file, on per
language, where each language team has to put the characters needed
for writing the given language.

I attach the "ar" file we use to this mail.

What is the Unicode code of the character which should be there ?
Could you check whether it is or not in this ar file?
