Incorrect Special Characters (shift) after macOS Ventura Install

After installing macOS Ventura on my 2018 Macbook Air I am now getting incorrect symbols when trying to type non-alpha-numeric characters (¡!#$%/). If I hold the shift key and type numbers 1 thru 0, I get the following characters, ¡!#$%/&*(). Some are correct and some are not. Particularly frustrating is that I can not conjugate verbs (no apostrophe) and I can not get the at symbol for an email address.

Help¡

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.1

I don't believe so. I don't recall ever touching that setting. US wasn't even on the list. I had to add it.

I have used the Option key to bring up upside down characters for Spanish, so maybe that added Spanish as an input source.

Open Keyboard System Settings and click the Edit button next to Input Sources. Make sure you have the correct input source (keyboard layout) selected.
