I think I've found the problem: the latin keyboard, upon which the it layout is
defined, has this definition of the j letter:
key <AC07> { [ j, J ] };
while all the other definitions are of this kind:
key <AC08> { [ k, K, kra, ampersand ] };
i.e.: it's one of the very few mappings with only two definitions instead of
four like the others.
I inserted a modified AC07 definition directly into the it keyboard and
I'm now able to redefine it.
I think the fix for this problem should be trivial, i.e.: assign two
more definitions to j, and since none was used before I suppose it's not
bad to directly use jcircumflex for it. A patch is attached.
