The underlying problem here is that the boot loader doesn't support keymaps. This applies to anything you type at the boot prompt, not just passphrases. You can't boot a kernel call bßd either, for example. As a workaround you could set your keyboard to US while setting the passphrase and use whichever keys you want as part of the passphrase.
