    Hello,

    Here are a few methods you can try to type the "@" character on an iPad Pro with an Apple Magic Keyboard through the RD Client:

    1. On-Screen Keyboard:

       Open the on-screen keyboard on your iPad.

       Switch to the special characters or numeric keypad by tapping the ".?123" button.

       Tap "@" to insert it.

    1. Keyboard Shortcuts:

      If you are using a non-U.S. keyboard layout, different combinations might work. For example, using the U.K. layout:

      Hold the Shift key and press the number 2 key (Shift + 2).

      Or try pressing the key combination for your specific keyboard layout. For German layout, it would typically be (Option + L).

    1. Change Keyboard Layout:

    Sometimes changing the keyboard layout in the RD Client settings can help.

    Go to the RD Client settings and look for keyboard or input settings.

    Try switching to a U.S. keyboard layout and then use Shift + 2.

    1. Copy and Paste:

    Simply copy the "@" character from a note or another app and paste it into the RD Client.

    Best Regards,
