 Steps to reproduce

 1. Install Joyride 2330 in a laptop
 2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to look like
 {{{
 KEYTABLE="us"
 XKB_MODEL="olpc"
 XKB_LAYOUT="us,et"
 XKB_VARIANT="olpc2,basic"
 }}}
 3. Set /home/olpc/.i18n to am_ET.UTF-8
 4. Restart sugar
 5. Start Write
 6. Press the switch layout key (if it is a G1G1 variety, the
 division/multiplication key below the enter key is a substitute)
 7. Type the sequence u h (no spaces in between)

 Actual result: An unicode box character, followed by ሀ comes up

 Expected result: The character ሁ should appear

 To see the expected result, repeat this in the mesh search bar in the
 sugar screen.
