You can change the hw kb layout using setxkbmap and/or editing /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rm-680 file -- here's mine, modified for Polish locale (and for ADOM, too ). Polish characters are accessible with SYM+letter. Symbols menu pops up when SHIFT+SYM is pressed.
Thank you for your tips! It is helpful.

Actually I'm looking for more than remapping the keys. I want to use the same physical keyboard layout, but use it for typing Chinese.

Is it possible to keep the visual keyboard input method while the HW keys are slided out? I do have the visual input method but don't want to change to english when the keyboard is out...

Would you mind having a look for the github link? It seems designed for N950 but I don't know how to install. The developer no longer replies...

Thank you so much.

Edit: Is it about Maliit Keyboards? https://wiki.maliit.org/Development
