I guess "German keyboard layout" is the correct answer to your question... <g>

There is no "§" on American keyboards?
(It is the sign for "article/section" of a treaty)

Nope. I believe (but I am not certain) it is on the Dutch keyboard layout, but that's not really used anymore. Us Dutchmen have to do with US-International layout, which doesn't have that sign indeed.
We do get a Euro sign: €
Although somewhere somebody decided not to follow the default rule of the Euro sign being produced with AltGr+E, as it is on most layouts, and put it under AltGr+5.
AltGr+E is: é
Which is useless anyway since Windows since 98 and most Linux versions as well allow 'dead keys' to make those characters, so why didn't they follow the standard?

That's strange. I mean, I understand that American keyboards (and many others of course), don't have "ö", "ü" , "ß" and so on, since they are "national" letters, but the "§" sign is internationally used, AFAIK. Why not include it? I wonder if there are signs on the American keyboard, that aren't on German ones...
