  1. Codes for Letters with Accents – (e.g. ó, ò, ñ)
  2. Other Foreign Characters – (e.g. ç, ¿, ß)
  3. Currency Symbols – (e.g. ¢, £, ¥)
  4. Math Symbols – (e.g. ±, °, ÷)
  5. Other Punctuation – (e.g. &, ©, §)

The above shows the US and British versions of the English keyboard. Notice the shape and location of the return key as the main difference. Apple has dropped the Apple symbol that has appeared on the command key since the introduction of the Apple II computer. Have to confess to feeling a bit stupid asking this question but the UK Apple store doesn't appear to provide any adequate description to explain the difference between English and English International keyboards. I am looking to buy and therefore want to choose the correct one for use on a British / UK set-up. Thanks for your help.

NOTE: For these codes, it is important to distinguish the Alt key (LeftAlt) key on the left side of the keyboard from the Alt key (RightAlt) on the right side of the keyboard.

Magic Keyboard combines a sleek design with a built-in rechargeable battery and enhanced key features. With a stable scissor mechanism beneath each key, as well as optimized key travel and a low profile, Magic Keyboard provides a remarkably comfortable and precise typing experience. Can anyone verify for me (or reference a web site) that when the option 'International Keyboard - English' is listed, that it is indeed the QWERTY Key board similar or nearly identical to the MacBook sold in the USA- (and not an AZERTY or other keyboard layout).
