` key on a Windows keyboard - on mac os
I'm new to mac os, and use a Windows keyboard.
It worked fine, but suddenly (I don't know when exactly) the key "`" (above the Tab key) has turned into "§".
Also when using Shift, this key write "±" instead of "~"
Does anyone know why it happens, and how can I fix it?

Thank you! I've tried to change the keyboard type and chose it again (US), and the problem disappeared!
