Ah, I see - I took it for granted the reader would understand that the
'setting' is managed via the Control Panel.

Agreed. Regional settings has it as the wrong configuration. However the
OP has several threads scattered around all on the same subject and I am
sure I covered that in one of them

This response was to the comment that "the @ symbol above the 2 works on
keyboards set to any of the 'english' language variants." which is not
so, or at best ambiguous.

Hi Graham

I suspect it is, but that doesn't matter if its been configured as
something else via the Control Panel.

On a UK English keyboard SHIFT + 2 is " Shift + ' is @. The laptop
presumably has a US pattern keyboard?

Hi iftikhar,

Check your laptop's keyboard language settings. AFAIK, the @ symbol
above the 2 works on keyboards set to any of the 'english' language
variants. As a workaround, you can also input the @ symbol via the
Alt-064 combination (possibly Fn-Alt-064 on your laptop) or by using
Insert|Symbol.
