Q: Reassign single key

Can I reprogram or reassign a single key (probably the ^ part of the 6^ or §± or `~ if it has to be an entire key as in both characters) since the 2@€ key on my wired keyboard for my MacMini is completely dead? Have cleaned it, carefully with a brush and the key depresses, with pressure/click but does nothing.

 

And while I have the two on the number pad, and can use a E for Euros, the @ is essential. I have a wireless bluetooth keyboard but my son uses the MacMini for gaming and uses the page up/down and numberpads to control things.L

 

ALTERNATIVELY is there a keystroke combination - unicode or somesuch - to produce the @ symbol (I cannot find it on the special characters menus anywhere and have looked carfully)?ng

 

MacMini  (Late 2014), with wired keyboard, running El Capitan (10.11.6). Malfunction happened after last update zapped my Time Capsule (now sorted  - deleted all back ups and "reformated")  but is probably due to the number ot times I had to type @ in that process...

 

NB El Capitan 10.11.6 Parental Controls still do not work - time limits are Kaput (the websites I can monitor, but my 13 year old lad w Aspergers refuses to accept his computer time is "up" when the computer has not booted him off (it was easier in the past for the computer to be the decider).
