kind of dumb question
alright, on american keyboards, when you press shift+4 it makes a dollar $ sign, but here is my question... in other countries where pounds are used for surrency (i think its pounds, lol) does it make a "pound" sign when you press shift+4? i know this is a dumb question, but its been bugging me all day lol

My question is If someone brings a Mexican keyboard to the states, do they have to press Shift+4 several times in order to compensate for the exchange rate? Do we have to press Shift+4 more times in Canada? Also if I press shift+4 on a TRS80 does a cent sign pop up? Worth pondering..possibly |

my god. Firstly, pounds are only used in one country, thats england. The other country's use all sorts of different currencies (just look at the exchange rates in a newpaper to see the main ones).
Secondly, it really depends on what type of keyboard. I've seen QWERTZ keyboards, QWERTY keyboards, AZERTY keyboards and even ABCDEF keyboards! In switzerland, mainly QWERTZ keyboards are used. If i press shift+0, it makes this sign: = If i press shift+9, it makes this sign: ) If i press shift+8, it makes this sign: ( If i press shift+7, it makes this sign: / If i press shift+6, it makes this sign: & If i press shift+5, it makes this sign: % If i press shift+4, it makes this sign: ç If i press shift+3, it makes this sign: * If i press shift+2, it makes this sign: " If i press shift+1, it makes this sign: +
