Keyboard Layouts

The keyboard layouts that follow are meant to assist OEMs with their individual keyboard drivers. The information is based on the Windows NT standard keyboard layouts and, therefore, is consistent across products.

The following tables are organized as follows:

• Column 1: Lists the scan codes.
• Column 2: Lists the associated Virtual Key.
• Column 3: Indicates if the resulting character is affected by the CAPLOCK (CAP) key.
• Column 4: Lists the resulting character. Some characters are represented as hexadecimal numbers.
• Column 5—N: Describes the expected character when a combination of keys are pressed. Some characters are represented as hexadecimal numbers.

An “@” symbol included as part of the character indicates that the character is a dead key. A dead key, when pressed in combination with second Unicode character, results in a third Unicode character. The dead-key tables following each language-specific keyboard table show the Unicode characters that result from specific dead-key combinations.
