context_page_description: There are two major English language computer keyboard layouts, the United States layout and the United Kingdom layout defined in BS 4822. Both are QWERTY layouts. Users in the United States do not frequently need to make use of the £ and € currency symbols, which are common needs in the United Kingdom and Ireland, although the $ symbol is also provided as standard on UK and Irish keyboards. In commonwealth countries such as Australia, Canada, Pakistan, India, and New Zealand, the US keyboard is commonly used.
context_section_description: There are also Dvorak Layouts for each region.
