SUMMARY
On the KDE Linux (and KDE neon) installation process, you can choose the
keyboard type.
I chose a Japanese keyboard, but it appears that the keyboard is still
recognized as an English keyboard (or other keyboard for a Western language?).
See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_input_method#/media/File:KB_Japanese.svg
for the Japanese keyboard layout.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
See the screencast: https://youtu.be/7Wqlsjf6bjw
1. Choose Generic 105-key keyboard > Japanese > Default keyboard
2. Focus on the text input for the test
3. Type `1234567890` with the shift key.
OBSERVED RESULT
`!@#$%^&*()` (probably English key map) is entered in the text input
EXPECTED RESULT
`!"#$%&'()~` is entered in the text input
