Something's wrong with my keyboard! ;A;

Shift-2 creates a " . I have to copy-paste @ symbols... 0__________0;;

Shift-3 creates a ? . Which shows up as a euro symbol on my computer... oAo;;

Shift-` creates a ? instead of a squiggle! o-o;;;

All others are okay, though.

@crescentfeather - O__O I dunno how to fix that........
Maybe you should try Shift-ing the other keys on the keyboard to know which is what and remember where it is located. I know it's still there somewhere on the keyboard but, on a different button. It's also kinda like the one my aunt owns.

That's really odd... maybe you should call microsoft/mac computer tech support.

@crescentfeather Check out this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_and_American_keyboards#PC_keyboards

Shift-2 creates a ":
You might be using an English computer. I believe American computers do the @ symbol (shift+2) instead of the " symbol, so try doing Shift+' (apostrophe).

Shift-3 creates a ? Which shows up as a euro symbol on my computer: Can you clear this up please? Do you mean that SHIFT+3 is meant to create a ? but when you type it, it looks like an euro symbol (see below, SHIFT+3 doesn't make an euro sign)? Or do you mean that SHIFT+3 is meant to create the euro/pound sign but it shows up as ?.
The euro symbol looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/ceo9h3n, so are you sure it's the euro sign? The British pound looks like this: ?.

Shift-` creates a ? instead of a squiggle: Same with above, with the obvious changes (like SHIFT+` instead of SHIFT+3).

@karamel

An... English computer? o-o I live in the US...

It's meant to create a @ but instead it creates a euro symbol, which is abnormal.

@crescentfeather If you look at the link I gave you, it shows the differences between English keyboard layouts and American keyboard layouts 😸
