Reply to comment by AccordionBruce in interesting keyboard in a museum by OnlineLion

It’s a QWERT-Z layout! Wonder if that’s original or a mistake in the display?

No mistake. Its the standard german layout. We rarely use y, so y and z are switched. Also note the Umlaute ÖÄÜ, and the infamous ß, which is another Variation of s.

I guessed it was German from the β but did not know about the Z/Y. New trivia every day 🤓

that’s a greek beta “β”, not an eszett “ß”.

First pick from the Unicode pallet is not a reliable international spelling plan 😞
