Stock Linux kernel in Fedora, for example, is signed by MS, so SecureBoot allows to boot it without modification. Kernel booted by SecureBoot is locked down by default. To unlock it, you need to patch kernel source, rebuild it, sign it with your own key, and install this key via UEFI to boot it in SecureBoot mode. Your custom key will not pass remote attestation.

A symbol may look differently than original letter, for example N - №, € - E (Є), S - $, integral, с - ©, TM - ™, a - @, and so on.

However, those symbols doesn't have lower case variants. Moreover, lower case k means kilo-, not a «smaller Kelvin».
