United Kingdom keyboard layout

The United Kingdom layout is similar to the United States layout. Hong Kong uses US and Chinese (Traditional) keyboards rather than UK ones. See the article British and American keyboards for details. See also Technical standards in colonial Hong Kong.

Note:
* the key to the immediate left of numeral 1 (backtick, `) gives (logical NOT, ¬) when shifted (instead of ~) and with AltGr either
** vertical bar | (OS/2's UK166 keyboard layout, Linux UK keyboard layout, and as usually printed on the key on keyboards sold in the UK),
or
** broken vertical bar ¦ (Microsoft Windows' UK keyboard layout);

US
::
Middle North American keyboard layout

The US keyboard layout does not use AltGr or any dead keys, and thus offers no way of inputting any sort of diacritic or accent; this makes it unsuitable for all but a handful of languages.

U.S. keyboards are used not only in the United States, but also in most English-speaking countries, e.g. Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In the United Kingdom, UK keyboards are used. See British and American keyboards for details.

Answer 3

Mainly the symbols are different like uk keyboard has £ where us keyboard would have $ etc

Answer 4

on the UK keyboard:
" is caps 2
@ is caps '
£ is caps 3
~ is caps # and is to right of @' key next to enter

These are the ones that catch me out when using a US keyboard as all of the above are different for US.

For French keyboard, many of the letters are in a different order.

Answer 5

instead of a £ sign you get a $ sign
