=== Germany === On [[German keyboard layout|German keyboards]], AltGr enables the user to type the following characters, which are indicated on the keyboard: [[File:KB Germany.svg|none|thumb|597x597px|German keyboard layout "T1" according to DIN 2137-1:2012-06]] [[Windows 8]] introduced the ability of pressing {{keypress|AltGr|Shift|ß}} to produce '''ẞ''' ([[capital ß]]). Even though this is usually not indicated on the physical keyboard—potentially due to a lack of space, since the ß-key already has three different levels ({{keypress|ß}} → "ß", {{keypress|Shift|ß}} → "?", and, as shown above, {{keypress|AltGr|ß}} → "\")—, it can be seen in the Windows [[Virtual keyboards|On-Screen Keyboard]] by selecting the necessary keys with the German keyboard layout selected. Some newer types of German keyboards offer the assignment {{keypress|AltGr|H}} → capital ß.
