Could someone tell me which international layouts use the two keys highlighted in the image below? I can't seem to find them anywhere on Wodan's diagram of international layouts. Thanks!

The top one is used on in the top left position of the alphanumeric cluster on danish layout keyboards.

Okay, well, is there a reason to have two versions of that key (one with 1/2 on top, and one with 1/2 on bottom)?

European idiocity

NORDE kits always seem to provide both. I'm just curious which layouts use which version of that key.

If it's one supported by Micro$oft Windows, it should be listed here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/globalization/mt644793 (now, if they actually bothered to list them in a single page...).

One is Swedish and the other is Danish. Because reasons. I guess.

Ah, okay.

Anyone have any theories about that "4" key?

I can tell you that it's NOT a part of any of the three (four) Spanish-language layouts. Must be for some country that does NOT care for dollars in the first place.

¤ is the generic currency symbol, so when you switch localisations, it will display $, ¥, £ depending on the language you chose. It's common in places where you can expect to deal with a variety of different currencies, eg. Europe prior to the euro, Africa etc. Generally, the symbol on modifier 4 is a currency symbol, that's just a universal key.

In Swedish layout anyway, it has always been literally ¤.
Nobody uses it though.
