(Using Raspbian) the Pi defaults to UK keyboard layout - I guess you're using a US keyboard (?). The "Internationalisation Options" of raspi-config (sudo raspi-config from the command line) is where you go to change that etc.

So then I need to set the keyboard to Uk, correct? I have a Acer keyboard , I think its 105 keys, does that make a difference from being 104 keys?

No - you need to tell Raspbian what (country) type of keyboard (layout) you're actually using (via raspi-config). So, if the '2' key, shifted is '@', and the '3' key shifted is '#', etc. your keyboard layout is US (a UK keyboard would have '"' and '£' instead, plus other differences). There are also options to select the number of keys present. However, for the US style mini-keyboard** I use I "lied" - it lacked the "numeric keypad" a 104/5 keyboard has but, since those keys are "duplicates", it didn't matter.
