Here's some (source http://www.vickers.de/keybd.htm for US layout, and
my own keyboard for UK layout):

Keystroke           UK                 US
------------------  -----------------  ------------------
Shift+2             "                  @
Shift+3             £                  #
Shft+ Top-left key  ¬                  ~

Some UK keyboards have an extra key on the middle alpha row (ASDF...),
next to the carriage return. This give # unshifted and ~ shifted. To
the immediate left of this key is the single quotation mark. On the UK
keyboard, this gives @ when shifted (so the @ and " are transposed).
Also, on most UK keyboards, the backslash and pipe symbol are next to
the left Shift key and Return is usually two rows high.

With all that said, UK keyboard layout isn't completely standard -- so
some UK keyboards are not exactly as I describe.

HTH,
