My keyboard  gives the Danish national letters æÆøØåÅ  as well
as various special characters in their right (Danish) places-
A Danish keyboard is a QWERTY-keyboard with certain modifications-.

Several of the keycodes I do not understand:
e.g.
keycode 52 = gr_c Ooblique
wscons has chosen to display "Ooblique" in stead of Oslash,(Ø).
But it is beyond me what the meaning of "gr_c" is..

keycode 51 = gr_z gr_Z
is probably "æÆ" .  When I compare keycode 52
with keycode 47 which probably gives åÅ, but says
keycode 47 = aring gr_E
and not "gr_e Aring" - whatever "gr_{e,E}" means,
I get quite confused.

But here we go  with output from wsconsctrl::

With option -a I get:
type=usb
... <snip> ...
encoding=dk.nodead
... <snip> ...

With option map I get::
