Although you will probably not need to do so often, you can change the keyboard layout in the console by using the nlsadm command with the get-console-keymap, list-console-keymap, and set-console-keymap subcommands. The Oracle Solaris console supports ASCII characters only. For more information, see the nlsadm(1M) man page.
To view the current console keyboard layout setting:
$ nlsadm get-console-keymap keymap=US-English
To list available values for the console keyboard layout setting:
$ nlsadm list-console-keymap Arabic ...
To set the console keyboard layout to Japanese:
# nlsadm set-console-keymap Japanese
