Hmm.... currently for a latin american keyboard, we (effectively) do an 
internal 'setxkbmap la'

Unfortunately, it seems that this sets a Laos keyboard (I think this might 
have been right historically, but has changed, layout codes have been 
rationalized to match ISO 3166-1 country codes)

I suspect 'setxkbmap latam' will work much better....

This turns out to be the clue needed, as U+0EBB is some Lao vowel sign, as I'm 
sure you know :-)
