You can still write åäö with the numpad if your keyboard has one.

Alt + 134 = å

I tried that. The LUKS password screen did not support it.

LUKS does not really have a password screen. It must have been your X-window session or terminal emulator that did not support it. LUKS can handle it!

Incorrect. Linux does not support alt codes.
