No offense taken.
I know this sounds quite silly, but please set your keyboard layout
temporarily to Finnish and type the following line on your US keyboard:
" @ $ & ^ & / * ( ) [ ] { } + - \ ; : < > ? | ' = _ ~
It's all standard US ASCII and both US and Finnish keyboards have those
characters, so it should be easy, right?
That's pretty much how it feels like to use a Finnish keyboard on a
console without kbd. It's possible to do, but personally I think it's
really annoying, as many of those characters are quite often needed on
the console, whether I'm working in English, Finnish or Bash.
