it seems like the layouts that lack a method to enter ASCII should be

just had the US English layout as a baked in thing along with the modifiers
to switch between entering native characters and entering ASCII.
Another thought. Do CJK, Cyrillic and other non Latin based languages
always use the same US layout for entering ASCII? I can see circumstances
that might exist where eg a Vietnamese keyboard might use French layout or
an Indian keyboard might use UK layout? (I am thinking specifically of how
alternate ASCII characters might be silk screened onto keys on such
keyboards. The Russian keyboards I have experience with have the US layout
for Latin.)
Hi.
Do you think about Russian keyboards with non-qwerty layout for US
characters? I suppose, in theory it's possible, but I've never seen it
in practice for the last 20 years or more.
