So we're having a meeting at work where people have flown in from The Netherlands (Venlo & Maastricht.. near WW as I recall) Ireland, France, China and others. I'm trying to set them up on wifi and I can't type the complex passphrase correctly to save my life. Then someone brings me a French laptop. I can't find \ to enter UNC paths because I can't find \ anywhere.
Look, try to find \ on the top image... it's not there! It's in yet another layer up on the 8 key like the lower image below.
I don't mind an ISO enter key so much but the French layout was very challenging to use. If I was a systems admin in France I'd have to switch to another layout. But I guess since I'd be on strike most of the time, it would be less bothersome.

You need to press the right alt key (or Alt Gr) and 8.

Thanks for the link, I added it to the wiki:

It's the same in Germany. I suppose using a smarter layout makes more sense if you need to place more characters.

Thanks, I need to brush up on alt layouts before these kinds of meetings.

Well, now you have a handy reference guide.
