  How often do most people use § and ½ !? Is a dedicated key really necessary?

        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.

    § is common in meeting minutes and legal texts. dunno about ½ though

      “common” really depends on context

    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!)
