Bad keyboard layout in Hebrew

This is the current Hebrew keyboard on Edge Explore 2 version 6.05.

1. The 1st problem with this is that it tries to be in alphabetic order, except that I guess it was created for a bigger screen that would fit 5 keys in a row. The reason I think that's what happened is that the current keyboard "translated" to English looks like:

E D C B
A J   I H
G F O N
M L K T
S R Q P
Y X W V
U @ _  *

I know this looks very confusing, it's because Hebrew is right-to-left.

If you reorder the keys in 5 columns then it becomes clear what's causing the bug:

E D C B A
J   I H G F
O N M L K
T S R Q P
Y X W V U
      @ _  *

2. There's one letter, the Hebrew SHIN (ש) (in the English letters that would be Z) that is totally missing.  I Used "@" for the last letter that should be after Z.

Well maybe it's not totally missing, I used "*" for the bottom-right key. It is unclear what it is supposed to be. After closer inspection it looks like it is both the missing ש (Z) and also some arrow that is pointing up. However nothing happens when I click on it, so it's a "dead key".


3. Note the last row has another but smaller issue: it's a mix of RTL and LTR characters. IMHO the correct display should be:  _ @ Z because the last 2 letters of the Hebrew alphabet should be on the right side, and then the rest. But again this is less of a problem so long the order of the Hebrew letters is 

The correct order would be:
D C B A
H G F E
L K J I
P O N M
T S R Q
X W V U
_ @ Z Y

Or with the Hebrew letters:
א ב ג ד
ה ו ז ח
ט י כ ך
ל מ ם נ
ן ס ע פ
ף צ ץ ק
_ ר ש ת
