    Hello,

    You can use the ASCII character codes.

    By pressing ALT and typing 060, you get < and ALT+062 gives you >.

    You can do a lot of things with them.

    Hello,

    I would say it depends on the keyboard, but these symbols are often located at the bottom left... and pressing the shift key at the same time as the symbol key allows you to change the orientation.

    Now, if you can't find this symbol, take a picture and post it here for us.

    .
    Best regards,
    Jordane

    These are characters available in the Symbol font.
    To get them, open the character map, select the desired character, and copy-paste it.

    There was talk of the arrival of a new type of AZERTY keyboard with more special characters, it seems to be delayed in coming out.

      Hello,

      The new AZERTY keyboard standard dates back to 2015 and is indeed taking time to materialize (it only had a Windows driver since 24H2), but it is not a panacea; space is not extensible and there will always be some character missing, more or less frequently depending on how one uses it.

      Regarding the basic question, almost all 105-key keyboards have the < and > keys, sometimes in different locations, except for a handful of non-AZERTY nationalities.

      However, they may be absent like the numeric keypad on some mini keyboards of certain laptops, which makes it urgent to avoid buying them for these reasons alone.

    It won't eliminate the need for ASCII codes (like the one that allowed me to write Ç), but it will reduce their number.
