I'm new to Linux and I'm trying to get used to the system. However, I've noticed that whenever I try to type the brackets { or }, strange symbols start appearing instead of letters. I'm running Ubuntu Server 24.40.3 on Oracle VirtualBox, and it's driving me crazy! How can I fix this issue?

This issue often happens when the wrong keyboard language is set. I'm assuming you're experiencing this in the terminal? It might just be an easy fix with the right layout.
It seems like VirtualBox isn't aligning your virtual settings with your physical keyboard. A potential fix is to install VirtualBox Guest Additions on your virtual machine. It should help with keyboard compatibility.
It sounds like you might have selected the wrong keyboard layout during setup. You can try reconfiguring it with this command: `sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration`. Be sure to choose a layout that fits your needs, like the generic 105-key layout for English (US). After making changes, run `sudo reboot now` to apply them. If that doesn't work, the issue might be with VirtualBox’s settings, so double-check those as well.
