I have the same issue on my end with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Both have a Polish keyboard layout, the Windows 10 box is the server and the Ubuntu is the client. Barrier works, however it seems like it works only in pseudo-ASCII way. The special Polish characters like: ąęłćźż don't work, funnily enough, only one character works which is: ó.

Windows 10 Pro server, Windows 10 Home client with US/BG layouts. Switching the layout on the client appears to work ( the language bar changes ) but inputs are still US. Switching to BG on server produces only question marks on the client, with no regards to the client's selected layout.

I have a Manjaro server and a dualboot client (Windwos/Ubuntu). All settings using DE-keyboard. But when typing on the server, the keyboard on the client seems to be US keyboard.

Don't close because it's not yet solved. Can the programer deal with this issue ? Thanks a lot.
