That's a French keyboard so it may be an exocet.

Maybe Ashy is an expert with French letters?

The yanks like their special symbols elsewhere. The French probably just move the letters around because they hate the dominance of English around the world.

Their basic arrangement of the letters is the same as ours. The French one isn't which is why Ashy spotted it. Quite why he is familiar with French keyboards is a bit of a mystery though.

Can't remember it in detail, but I do remember having difficulty with a Spanish keyboard when our daughter lived in Spain.

The biggest difficulty I had with a Spanish keypunch was getting the damned thing fixed. I'd gone over for a week to get a one day job done. The first three days were waiting to get what was apparently the only keypunch on the entire 10 acre site repaired. This was when I learned that mañana doesn't mean tomorrow - it only means definitely not today.

Fortunately we already knew about the Spanish work ethic which is why I'd been allocated a week for a one day job. It was still a close run thing.
