It's where the quotation mark is on the American keyboard--i.e., shift-apostrophe. Which means the quotation mark is over the 2, just like on the old C64.

Don't ask me why I know this, having lived in the US all my life. heh.

It could be worse, though: it *could* be the keyboard layout used across the Channel in France. I've seen it shown in my French textbook, and it looks something like this:

²&é"'(-è_çà)=
AZERTYUIOP^$
QSDFGHJKLMù*
WXCVBN,;:! <

Yes, you guessed it-- you have to hold Shift to get to the numbers on the top row.
