The Norwegian languages use the same letters as Danish, but the Norwegian keyboard differs from the Danish layout regarding the placement of the Ø, Æ and \ keys.

The Æ character is accessible using AltGr+z on a US-International keyboard. The HTML entities are Æ and æ Windows: Alt+0 198 or Alt+1 46 for uppercase, Alt+0 230 or Alt+1 45 for lowercase.
Ø (or minuscule: ø) is a letter used in the Danish, Norwegian, Faroese, and Southern Sámi languages. It is mostly used to represent the mid front rounded vowels, such as [ ø ] ⓘ and [ œ ] ⓘ , except for Southern Sámi where it is used as an [oe] diphthong .
For instance, the combination Alt+ 1 6 3 would result in ú (Latin letter u with acute accent) which is at 163 in the OEM code page of CP437 or CP850. [2] This did not work for characters not in the Windows Code Page (such as box-drawing characters).
