The siglum key explained.

[Peter Brigham MD]

See Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#QWERTY

The siglum at topleft seems to be found in Scandinavian countries and  
in Holland, at least in the QWERTY layout. The british version at  
least in this article, doesn't have any siglum key at all (must be an  
alt/option-key combination).

I never realized how much variation there is in these things.
