Keyboard missing characters


Hello!

I have had problems with my keyboard lately. I try to type some characters I was able to type in Windows with a French Canadian keyboard. The characters are those you can type with Ctrl+Alt+Numbers and others. For example, I can't do the A sign in an email. It looks like this

user mailserver.com

No "at" sign...

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

How did you configure the keyboard during install?

Edit:
You may check your XF86Config file for the character set... or use the characther map to bring up those characters. Usually the @ sign would be by pressing Alt Gr+q or Alt Gr+2 (on my LATAM keyboard, anyways )
