Can't type ampersand in console :(

Hello, I am using a Hungarian keyboard, so when I try to hit alt gr + c in the console, I always get the ^C command appearing. Is there an alternative way to input the & key? Thank you!

Just use windows on screen keyboard or if mac then get a mac on screen keyboard they may already have one installed by default if not then download one and you should change language to make sure you can clearly click an ampersand symbol. :)

I'm not really sure I understand you Anil, I meant the treehouse console at the course.

Yes, and when you type in the console you are using your keyboard which is set to the language hungarian?

So you can get an on screen keyboard which is basically keyboards that are on the screen/monitor instead of physical, that you touch with your hands.

Like this:

Then you can change language to english keyboard settings and quickly get access the ampersand symbol :)

Ohh okay, understood now.

Tried and it's still inputting the ^C command :/
