System Information
Operating system: Windows 10

Blender Version
Broken: 2.81.1 761aeb4899

Short description of error
The $-key is not recognized by Blender for Swiss variants of French, Italian and German keyboards.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Add keyboard layout French (Switzerland), Italian (Switzerland) or German (Switzerland) to windows.
Open the windows On-Screen keyboard.

Type $ in a textbox or add it as a keybinding. (The $-key is right beside Enter)

Note: The Swiss keyboard variants have more common with each other than their primary languages. The only difference between the three is that the primary/secondary keys for öäü/éàè are swapped.

D5465 is a fix for windows. ~~I think I had the same problem on Linux previously, but I will have to take another look at that.~~

On Linux the problem is different, and most likely not one limited to Swiss keyboard variants. When utf8 is enabled there are multiple keys that can be used in textboxes but not as keybinding.

In general, (in windows), when registering keystroke with a lot of non-US KB layouts, registered key corresponds to US layout. This doesn't mean, that such entry will not work, though it may not work in some cases (multiple/special keyboards)

This is same problem as in #68395 (Not recognizing numpad page up /down keys .), but I wont close as duplicate, because we may decide to treat this problem in different way.
