Backslash on a Norwegian keyboard on a Mac

I've seen this question asked several places. For me, under OS/X I use Option+Shift+7. Pipe symbol (|) is just Option+7. Under Windows 11 in Parallels I add Ctrl and it works for me.

Just had to share this :)

Unable to type pound symbol in Windows 11 using Parallels 19 Pro I'm using Parallels Pro. I'm using an external keyboard Logi MX with a UK keyboard configuration. The pound, hash and euro symbols work fine under MacOS, but do not function correctly when running Windows 11. Can anyone provide guidance to get this to function. I've tried the Alt+3 combination etc
