Having a Us keyboard on Windows using French-Canada layout, I can do a lot of the specific symbol/character and all of them are clearly explain in this post.

My question is only for the those characters. « » °

They are made using a key between the left shift and the z key. Since this key is not existant on US keyboard and I have try every key combination I could think off, I would need the help if someone knows the answer.

  • Take a look at charmap on Windows, it will help you for characters. For °, press ALT and enter 0176 on the numerical keypad. « is ALT+0171, and » is ALT+0187. Unfortunately, you need to use the keypad, the regular number keys don't work for this. – essjae Mar 10 '20 at 21:40
  • idk if this is also true for French Canadian PC keyboards [I'm used to Mac], but the 'missing' key left of z is actually moved to left of 1 for FrC. For US it's moved far right, between delete & Enter [Canadian seems to be a hybrid, ISO Enter key with ANSI 'missing left of z'.] – Tetsujin Mar 11 '20 at 08:15

  • Use Alt+174 for «
  • Use Alt+175 for »
  • Use Alt+167 for º

The numbers should be typed on the numeric keypad (with NumLock enabled)

  • Thank you for your answer. It is in fact true, but it requires a numeric keypad. Since my new keyboard is a tenkeyless, I had no choice and switch to Canadian Multilingual. – Jean-Pascal Lavigne Mar 13 '20 at 01:34
