Question mark on Portuguese (Brazil) ABNT Keyboard - Shift + Alt + W doesn't work

I can't type a question mark while using the Portuguese keyboard, though I can get most other symbols. Keyboard shortcuts that others have posted about (Shift + Alt + w) doesn't work on my logitech bluetooth keyboard on or my Lenovo.

 

Shift + number keys not giving expected symbols

I have same problem, SHIFT/ALT 2, I guess. I'd still like a full list of key shortcuts, please.

"When I hold down the SHIFT and 2 key on my keyboard, it suppossed to make the @ sign right

It doesnt.. instead it makes this " (a paranthesis). Same with Shift and 3 keyboard, it makes a slash instead of the usual number sign.

Still, if I wanna make the at sign, I gotta hold down ALT and then key 2... see... @"
