General Questions • where does the console get its keyboard layout from?

Hello,

Using Bookworm with Gnome Wayland

Edited the keyboard layout in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pt because the Portuguese (Macintosh) layout didn't match the stencil on any of my pt_PT mac keyboards (either macbooks or external usb), and now the keyboard matches the stencil.
But the tty consoles do not follow my changes!
The console is using a portuguese layout, but not the edited one.

Where does the console get it's layout from?
Was the method i used the "best" to change the keymap to reflect the stencil?

this is my /etc/default/keyboardThe affected keys are:
the key to the left of 1 § and ± on the stencil , `and ~ on the mac layout
the 3 key - 3 # € on the stencil, and 3 # £ on the mac layout
Also changed the rest of the layout to match that of macOS
