      I used to use one of them in my passwords - it usually works fine, until I’m met with a platform where this key doesn’t exist (damn you, Nintendo Switch!)

          If your position as a civil servant involves official communication with companies, you’re going to need the § sign a lot on a daily basis, and the Nordic countries have basically always had large public sectors.

          i thought “in the context of which this keyboard layout is useful” was fairly implicit in this case

          • My point was more about it being common in meeting minutes. I can’t say I’ve ever seen it in use as such despite sitting through a decade’s worth of meetings, though I also don’t doubt that it’s used in certain specific contexts

              well here it’s used all the time. i’ve also sat through a decade’s worth of meetings, mainly as the secretary, and section signs are expected. last time i used it was in june.
