LE 10.0.2 for Raspberry Pi does not have English Special Characters

One thing is the setting of the virtual keyboard and another thing is the setting of the physical keyboard. Check out the settings!

Hello,

I have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B+ and installed LibreElec 10.0.2. Initial setup went fine up until I went to enter my wifi password and rather than there be special characters such as !,@,#,$,%,^,&,*, instead I had what looked like weird Greek alphabet letters or some other language. This happens anytime I have to use the keyboard, so it seems to be a bug with the language layout or something?

Also, the website https://libreelec.tv/downloads/raspberry/ currently has the link for Rpi2 download under Raspberry Pi 3.

Hello pi2user,

I think you'll find the "special characters" you're looking for by selecting the [shift] key (the "UP" arrow key) on the virtual keyboard instead of the "special characters" key on that keyboard. Here's a screenshot which may help . . .

The "Greek alphabet characters" you're seeing display on the virtual keyboard when you select the [special characters] key on this virtual keyboard. I also thought the special characters would be found by selecting that [special characters] key on this keyboard, when I keyed in my WiFi password, but selecting the [shift] key instead when lower case characters were displayed on this virtual keyboard gave me the characters I was looking for as well as the upper case alphabetic characters.

Also, I believe that the LibreELEC image files for the Raspi 2 and Raspi 3 are the same and the filename for that image file includes "RPi2" in the filename even though it IS for both the Raspi 2 and Raspi 3. The picture of the LibreELEC USB-SD Creator screen on the Downloads page here: https://libreelec.tv/downloads/ does show that the image is the same for the Raspi 2 and Raspi 3 image. I've repeated that screenshot here as well:

I hope you can now find your needed "special characters" for your WiFi password.

RPi2 and RPi3 use the same "RPi2" image since 2013 ish .. nothing new there.
