How do you access the ‘?’ and ‘!’ On the iPad Air numeric keyboard? I don’t find a shift key.

Yes, with interesting results. Keeping my finger on the ‘!/,’ key provides the option to make a single quote or an inverted exclamation point (used in writing Spanish). Doing the same to the’?/.’ key ' lets me chose an inverted question mark (also used in Spanish), an ellipsis or a double quote. But not the shifted character. It’s been like this through several ios updates. I keep thinking it’s a bug and Apple will find it and fix it, but not yet. Is the keyboard you illustrated from an iPad Air?
