I'm not sure how to answer that, but in case it helps, here is how a
British keyboard is labelled:
¬ ! " £ $ % ^ & * ( ) _ +
`| 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - =
{ }
Q W E R T Y U I O P [ ]
: @ ~
A S D F G H J K L ; ' #
¦ < > ?
\ Z X C V B N M , . /
Every key is required for typing some ASCII character. All the
characters are ASCII apart from £, ¬ and ¦. The latter two characters
are hardly used in practice, as far as I know (they are from EBCDIC).
With a normal Linux keymap the key labelled ¦ produces | and is the
usual way of typing that ASCII character (rather than AltGr-`), so
there isn't any way of typing ¦ (use printf "\xa6\0" | iconv -f ucs-2
instead).
