Comment 10 for bug 67051

I'm reporting this for a Ubuntu user:

"The original Tajik keyboard layout was based on using the letter 'o' for
making the extra letters. For example: typing o and then x produces Tajik h.

In the current system the letter o doesn't do anything, but the Tajik
letters can be made by using RightAlt. For example RightAlt + o produces
Tajik h.

The 'o' on the keyboard is dead and does not have any function. In
Russian (the Tajik keyboard is based on the Russian keyboard), the 'o'
produces the 'щ'.

Because Russian words are often used in Tajik, I would suggest putting
the 'щ' back in place of the letter 'o' so that the one keyboard layout
can be used for typing Tajik and Russian."

then

"I changed the file usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/tj so that the AD09 key is
no longer dead, but produces cyrillic_shcha. The changed file is
attached. When using this it is possible to type all Tajik and Russian
words on the tj keyboard without having a dead key."
