Q: Curly braces {} and | on ibook g4 1GHz Tiger

I own iBook G4 (14-inch Early 2004) 1GHz as of recently. I just installed MAC OS X Tiger on it. And I want to use it for PHP/HTML/CSS coding. But I can't find curly braces {} or a | on a keyboard? I use English setings. It's a European model ibook (I think originaly from Germany or Switzerland).  Any help would be much apperciated. Thank you in advance!

    The | is Option+7, { is Option+8, and } is Option+9 on the Swiss and German keyboard layouts.

    If you check and set the Keyboard Viewer so it is accessible in the finder main menu bar, plus consider having the Character pallette also appear, then these can help show what kinds of alternative keyfaces are available. However the ones on the keyboard may vary, their positions would be correct in the Keyboard Viewer in another language you can chose to use in settings.

     

    Good luck & happy computing!
