Visiting a Scandinavian Internet café is a frustrating experience for an English keyboard user - all those accented keys in place of our familiar qwerty layout! However, those characters are even more difficult to find back in the UK, hence the table below.
On a Windows keyboard, you can get Scandinavian characters into html documents or Google Earth using the Alt key with the key sequence below (you need to type the numbers on the numeric keypad however).
