Re: [SOLVED]Problem with keyboard layout

Look at the output of:

localectl

Is the layout correct?

If not, consult localectl()

Are you infected with Wetiko?

System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: gb

yes, its correct as far as im concerned, all the other characters are exactly like in my keyboard except for this specific one.

Re: [SOLVED]Problem with keyboard layout

Are you sure, you use a default US Keyboard?
Elsewise you should set the VC keymap, as described in the Beginner's Guide#Console font and keymap.
