The following tables show the United Kingdom keyboard layout. The at (@) sign, which is included as part of the character, indicates that the character is a dead key. A dead key, when pressed in combination with a second Unicode character, results in a third Unicode character. The dead-key tables show the Unicode characters that result from specific dead-key combinations. Virtual keys for the omitted scan codes equal zero (0).
| Scan code | VK_ key | CAP | Character | SHIFT | CTRL | SHIFT+CTRL | CTRL+ALT | SHIFT+CTRL+ALT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
