As you can see it's a keyboard layout.
I depicted my own keyboard which is why you will see an � , � and � - Danish characters since mine 
use a danish layout.
Some chars were also choosen because they were easier to draw in such a small space instead of the 
default char.
But all chars are available on the key they are depicted on .. only some might require a SHIFT or 
ALT combination to show.

Win keys on my keyboard is a windows logo but it can't be depicted on 1 line and 4 chars (if you can 
do it you're an ascii-god)
I had to abbreviate some other charaters too.

Also to maintain a proper look not all chars have their exact width depicted though I have managed 
quite well overall. The only exception is the left SHIFT button which should be as wide as the CTRL 
button beneath it .. but to do that I would have to shift the entire row and that would make the 
rest of the keys in that row seem out of place.

Feel free to make diddles and your localized versions.

Hereby applying for the title:   ##+]

Or maybe just the gist of it:    ~|+|

Seem maybe, but looking at my keyboard, they -are- "out of place". :)

Limited to the bare necessities. ;) Where there are several characters in a 
block, the order is Normal, SHIFT+<key>, and ALT GR+<key>. (ALT GR being 
CTRL+ALT.) Exceptions: Q, E, and M, where I left off the SHIFT+<key> one because 
really... /that/ one should be obvious. ;)

*mutters at the lots of non-ASCII chars on this layout*

*hehe* Good one .. But I wouldn't use your version or Joaquim's though I must admit they are good 
attempts.

The Danish and German layout have many similarities but I really hate that the Z and Y keys are 
switched .. It's very annoying when you're use to a normal layout.

I noticed that you had to have all the makings on the layout .. IMO that makes the pictures look 
messy .. also you have to make the AltGr key wider than the Alt key which it isn't IRL.

Yah, I certainly wasn't going for niceness with that. Just completeness.

the left part of the backspace key is :(

If your keyboard is like the one I'm using now, then the problem is that you've drawn the leftmost
keys one column too narrow.  Here, I've diddled it for you:

>You have a "half" key?

All danish keyboards do. When pressed alone, it gives �. When shifted, it
gives �. Also, the shifted characters on the numbers differs. On a danish
keyboard:

  1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    0
  !    "    #    �    %    &    /    (    )    =

With AltGr, they give:

       @    �    $    �         {    [    ]    }

You can imagine the pain, when playing some game that reads scancodes only
and expects the whole world is using american layouts... :-)

Same as dictionaries (US), default locales (US) and computer programming 
language spelling (US). Argghhh.

I have suggested to a friend that we just acquiesce and adopt US and 
British spelling together into the one English dictionary and be done 
with it. Most US spelling is prevalent enough now on the Net across the 
world to count as common usage anyway :(

And from there we can just continue to give up our own culture more 
freely! Feels like MS tactics... I wonder if the Middle East feels like 
Sun.

No, we don't use half "�re". The smallest coin is 25 �re (quarter "krone").
Actually, I have no idea why it is there! :-)

The UK one is very silly - it contains ` (an apostrophe backwards), ¬ (god knows, some weird hook sghaped thing), and ¦ (like the pipe symbol | but split in two).  Dunno if you will see these properly so I included descriptions.
