On Norwegian keyboards, æ and ø trade places, having the corresponding places of ä and ö in the Swedish keyboard. In computing, several different coding standards have existed for this alphabet: DS 2089 (Danish) and NS 4551-1 (Norwegian), later established in international standard ISO 646; IBM PC code page 865; ISO 8859-1; Unicode
The Norwegian languages use the same letters as Danish, but the Norwegian keyboard differs from the Danish layout regarding the placement of the Ø, Æ and \ keys. On the Danish keyboard, the Ø and Æ are swapped. The Swedish keyboard is also similar to the Norwegian layout, but Ø and Æ are replaced with Ö and Ä.

Under Windows, the Alt key is pressed and held down while a decimal character code is entered on the numeric keypad; the Alt key is then released and the character appears. The numerical code corresponds to the character’s code point in the Windows 1252 code page , with a leading zero; for example, an en dash (–) is entered using Alt + 0150 .
Norwegian orthography is the method of writing the Norwegian language, of which there are two written standards: Bokmål and Nynorsk.While Bokmål has for the most part derived its forms from the written Danish language and Danish-Norwegian speech, Nynorsk gets its word forms from Aasen's reconstructed "base dialect", which is intended to represent the distinctive dialectal forms.
Code page 865 (CCSID 865) [2] (also known as CP 865, IBM 00865, OEM 865, DOS Nordic [3]) is a code page used under DOS in Denmark and Norway to write Nordic languages [4] (except Icelandic, for which code page 861 is used).
