I had a similar problem once. I normally use the dvorak layout but was on a qwerty keyboard. I don't remember exactly why, but I had to muscle-memory type the password as if the keyboard was dvorak and manually remap the characters using an image of a dovrak layout on top of a qwerty keyboard.

My approach to that is to follow xkcd advice with an emergency password which looks less like a random string but more like a real world phrase.

I try to use my local language and some obscure local slang to avoid being guessed by an international dictionary.

Yeah, for my master password, I use a slightly misheard line from an episode of a 90's TV show. Googling my misheard version in quotes only gets 6 hits, and it's 30 characters long, so very unlikely to get cracked even without replacing letters with symbols or adding a suffix.
