I believe there is an error in the diagram for the Canadian Multilingual keyboard.

If you look at the Q key, the diagram shows two symbols, being Ω and ω. The diagram gives the impression that the Q key is used to produce upper case and lower case Greek Omega.

However, from Canadian government documents I have been able to find, this is incorrect. The Ω symbol is not "Capital Greek Omega" but is "Ohm sign", and the ω symbol is not supposed to be present on the keyboard. This is confirmed by the keyboard layout definition in Windows for the Canadian Multilingual, which shows only the Ohm sign on Q.

Since Ohm and Capital Omega are very similar, the graphic for that part of Q could be left as-is, but the ω symbol on Q should be removed from the diagram. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.56.11.26 (talk) 14:30, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
