I'm a newbie user doing rather well at my first O/S install. This particular snag I cannot figure out.

The upper left key (just below the ESC) is marked with a tilde as the shift value and the "back single quote" (there's probably a proper name for it), if the key is pressed unshifted. When I press this key I get a ">" (when shifted), and a "<" when pressed on its own. It is the only key that appears to have an "alternate" definition. I'm not certain if this is a keyboard definition, or a region setting or something else.

I don't know how to check these settings (or where). I am not even sure if the approach to the problem is to replace a setting or change the internal key definition for the one key. Whatever is the easier/cleaner solution is fine with me. I'm hoping the problem is a common set-up problem that an experienced installer will recognize and know how best to rectify.

The version of ubuntu is 16.04 LTS and the language I intended is English. Sometimes I select English(US) and sometimes I select English(CA). I don't recall what I selected on any occasions I was asked during the installation process. This was installed as a dual-boot on a MacBook Pro (12,1).

Thank you in advance for your time, and I apologize if this is a question that has been asked repeatedly - I'm sure it has been, but I couldn't find it.
