The @ symbol should be printed on one of the keys.


  • On U.S., U.K. and most European keyboards the @ key is Shift-2 (hold down the Shift key while you press 2).
  • On Danish, Norwegian, Portuguese & Swiss keyboards - the @ key is next to the Return key, above the right-hand shift key.
  • On French keyboards (QWERTY & AZERTY) - the @ sign is to the left of 1
  • On German keyboards - the @ key is on L
  • On Italian keyboards - the @ is next to the L
  • On Japanese keyboards - the @ is next to P

A couple errors: Portuguese is on Option 2, not next to the return key. Swiss in on Option G, not next to the return key.

There's no qwerty French keyboard, unless you mean French Canada. On French Canada @ is on Shift 2, not to the left of 1.
