Q: Wrong special characters on keyboard

Hello all,

     I recently bought a late-2013 mac book pro and I am having a peculiar issue. When I hold shift and any of the numbers on the top row, the incorrect characters appear. Now, I know most of you my point me towards the keyboard input source, or the preferred language options, but I have tried that many times already. Additionally, I have tried a fresh install of OSX and still, the same things happen.

 

    What makes this a little more troublesome, is that my keyboard works great in my Win7 virtual machine on Fusion 8 on the same MBP. Weird right? Although that being the case does lead me to believe it is a software issue of some sort.

 

     Any assistance that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
