The second part is easy. You're using the US layout of your keyboard. You
need UK.

Did you check the Character Map to see if the letters you need are available
in the font you want to use?

For the first part ...

Tools > Customize > Keyboard
Scroll down categories on the left and select Common Symbols
Scroll down the common symbols on the right
Select the one you want and enter the key combination of choice.
