What causes my keyboard to type incorrect symbols when using Microsoft apps on my Mac?

When I type capital letters, I get the wrong symbols, eg, this is cap of 0 = and this is 8 (. Here is dash ö.

This is the case in both Microsoft applications such as word, gmail and this message. What did I do to change the keyboardÞÞÞ. Those were question marks

You must have the wrong input source active.


Go to system settings > keyboard > text input > edit > all input sources and make sure you have only one item on the list, and that the name of that item is US or ABC. Use the minus button at the bottom of the list to remove everything else.
