Describe the bug
The HP French-Canadian sk806a and Dell KB216T.C36YV have slightly different printed legends on the punctuation keys.

To Reproduce
The HP keyboard looks like:

The Dell keyboard looks like:

The biggest difference is that there are double quotes on the shifted period on the Dell, while there is another period on the HP. It is also harder to tell if the macron and soft hyphen on the Dell are supposed to be distinct.

Expected behavior
Loading the standard French Canadian keyboard layout into the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MKLC) suggests that the legends on the HP keyboard are the right ones.

That section of the keyboard without any modifier keys looks like:

When shifted, it looks like:

And with AltGr it looks like:

Apologies to folks who have the Dell keyboard, but this will stay with the "official" layout that happens to correspond to the HP.
