Actually, it looks a lot nicer if you write it like:
!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~
Why not try to find a compromise - something short that'd fit in
your tutorial without too much trouble:
!"#$%&'()*+,-./ You shouldn't use any foreign characters in your
0123456789:;<=>? art, only those in the chart on the left. If you
@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO have an ordinary American keyboard, there should
PQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_ be no others visible on the keys, so you have no
`abcdefghijklmno need to worry. However, if your keyboard has any
pqrstuvwxyz{|}~ other characters be careful not to use them.
Ok, it's not as short as I hoped, but at least it's bricktext. :-)
Maybe you could just list the punctuation, and warn against any
accented letters..
