I think it should look at the /keyboard layout/ before the /locale/.
E.g. on my system the locale would suggest that I can easily type ñ,
though in fact I cannot:

     $ localectl 
       System Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
           VC Keymap: dk-latin1
          X11 Layout: dk
         X11 Variant: nodeadkeys
