Where are < > characters in the Italian Keyboard ?

When you changed the layout, it may come out as what is pictured below: (this is not the same keyboard as yours but the layout may be the same)

Hi Loyd,

Thank you for taking your time to reply and for sharing your expertise with me. I appreciated it.

However, in NY, a friend had a MS Surface device, purchased in the US, just like mine, with a physical US KB installed, just like mine, and had installed an Italian language pack and Italian KB, again, just like I did.

By typing a certain combination of keys my friend was able to obtain the two characters/symbols that I am now trying to find. Unfortunately my friend upgraded to a different make/device and cannot remember the combination that generates "<" and ">".

Kindly, can I ask you to locate the specific "character map" for the MS Surface Book with physical US KB and with Italian language and KB installed?

I know that it exists, somewhere, and I need to find it. I would very much appreciate if some MS specialist would, kindly, take the time to search the MS document base to find find it.

Thank you.

Hi Tommaso,

Thank you for posting us here in Microsoft Community! We understand that you want to use the ("<" and '>'") symbol. 

The Surface Keyboard Layout is limited to provide all the symbols, not just the Italian layout. It is different compared to a desktop keyboard. The only option that you can get the whole Italian keyboard functionality is to get the Surface Book Italy Hardware Configuration in Italy. 

To notify us and have us get back to you, simply reply to this post.

I have the MS Windows Character Map but that does not help as characters cannot be directly input typing on the physical keyboard.

I need a specific character map (Italian) for the Surface Book physical US Keyboard.

It is a MS document, that should be simple to find for a MS specialist. Can anyone help me? Anyone from MS reading this thread?

@James,

Thank you for your time.

As I mentioned I have a US QWERTY Keyboard (practically identical to the one in your image). In theory, I should be able to access the two symbols ("<" and '>'") when I activate the Italian language and keyboard by pressing a combination of keys on the physical US keyboard.

Today I was on a chat and then on the phone with 2 MS support agents, for 2 hours and they were unable to find the right combination as they could not find the appropriate MS document (Italian layout characters map).

I am certain that those two symbols can be used with a combination of keys because I saw it being done, from a US MS Surface Pro, purchsed in NY, with a physical US keyboard and an Italian Language pack plus an Italian language and keybord, added via Settings.

UnfortunatleyI do not remember the combination...
