Hi @Mani_Volanti,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

I understand you’re having trouble typing the “<” (less than) symbol on your HP Victus laptop. This usually depends on the keyboard layout and region settings. Here’s how to type it:

 

1. Standard US / English Keyboard

Press Shift + comma (,) → this should type “<”.

Press Shift + period (.) → this types “>”.

 

2. If using a different keyboard layout

Go to Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region > Keyboard.

Check which layout is active (e.g., US QWERTY, UK QWERTY, or another language).

Some layouts (like certain European ones) may require AltGr + key to type symbols.

 

3. Use Alt Code (Numeric Keypad)

Hold Alt and type 60 on the numeric keypad → outputs “<”.

Note: This works only if your laptop has a numeric keypad or Num Lock is enabled on the number keys.

 

4. Use On-Screen Keyboard

Press Windows + Ctrl + O to open the on-screen keyboard.

Click Shift, then click the “<” key on the virtual keyboard.

I hope this helps.

 

I'm glad I could help! 😊 If this resolved your issue, please mark it as "Accepted Solution" and click "Yes" on "Was this reply helpful?" Your feedback not only keeps us going but also helps others find the solution faster! 👍
