System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard tab > Show keyboard . . . in menu bar > click on the icon that appeared in the menu bar > click on Show Keyboard Viewer > a keyboard will appear on screen > hold down the shift key or fn key or option key and watch the keyboard change; when you want to use a certain key you see, go into a Word doc (or whatever), hold down the key you were holding down and press the desired key on the keyboard to get that character.
