I haven't found a keyboard switch setting for Win 10/HP - it is definitely the UK config because I can type £ (on my laptop). There are apps you can install, but I haven't, for several reasons. I have, over the years looked into external programmable keypads but not sure if the program wouldn't involve that app. Then there is the hassle of hauling that around.

My keyboard has several keys with multiple characters embossed and accessible via key combos see below. It makes for a smaller keyboard. And it is thinner which really sucks with my typing.

eg

` ¬ ¦ the latter character looks like a | but just isn't. Do you think I could get them on "trades description act"? (UK law).

|| is used for logical "or" in JavaScript and by inference in Java I assume - maybe | for bitwise OR

BTW some smiley faces work on the 'Cat. What I tried to post was the finger to thumb OK symbol which has Unicode number(s): �� - not only too high but two numbers and I had to use my HTML skills to make the hash codes display as has codes.
