Special Character Key Bindings on German Keyboard

Hi,

is there any reference where special characters like ‘\’, ‘|’, ‘~’ etc. are located or how to type them on a German keyboard on an Apple MacBook Pro?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1

To see which key does what, use Keyboard Viewer

https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-the-keyboard-viewer-on-mac-mchlp1015/11.0/mac/11.0

If you have a new machine and find the what appears on the screen does not match what is printed on the keys, go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and make sure you have "German Standard" there (instead of "German")
