I have ca Czech Keyboard set for English, and I can't figure out how to type the question mark, exclamation symbols etc. Using the alt key and pressing the key results in the regular symbol for the key. Help

Hello moirathepoet,

After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are trying to type the question mark but it is not in the same location as on an English keyboard. One thing you can do is to use the keyboard viewer and see where it is located on the keyboard and you can enter it from there too. ​I would recommend you read this article, it explains how to use this feature.

See where characters for other languages, and special characters and symbols, are located on your keyboard.

  1. Click the Input menu in the menu bar, then choose Show Keyboard Viewer.

    If the command isn’t shown, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, click Keyboard, then select “Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar.”

  2. Click the Input menu in the menu bar, then choose the input source for the language whose keyboard you want to view.

  3. Press the key on your keyboard that corresponds to the character shown in the Keyboard Viewer, or click keys in the Keyboard Viewer.
