How to type a...

On my swiss keyboard I manage to type backslash, pipe and so on as shown in table below.

Symbol	Keys
Backslash (\)	`Option + Shift + 7`
Brackets ([ ])	`Option + 5 / Option + 6`
Curly Brackets ({ })	`Option + 8 / Option + 9`
Pipe (\|)	`Option + 7`
Tilde (~)	`Option + n`
	`foo()`

Set Keys for Emacs

    (let ()
    (global-set-key "\M-g" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert "@")))
    (global-set-key "\M-5" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert "[")))
    (global-set-key "\M-6" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert "]")))
    (global-set-key "\M-7" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert "|")))
    (global-set-key "\M-8" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert "{")))
    (global-set-key "\M-9" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert "}")))
    (global-set-key "\M-n" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert "~")))
    )
