When you press the @ key and get a different symbol (often a ", ', or other character), it usually means your computer's keyboard language setting is wrong, often set to UK instead of US, swapping the @ and " keys. To fix this, adjust your operating system's language settings to English (United States), or check if the Num Lock is on, as these are the most common causes for swapped symbols.

Is a the same as aa?

No, å and aa are not the same, though historically aa was used to represent the sound of å in Scandinavian languages before å became a distinct letter, and aa is sometimes used as a substitute for å when the character isn't available (like online). While aa might sound similar to å in some contexts (often a long 'a' sound in German/Dutch) or as a stand-in, the Scandinavian å represents a specific vowel sound (like 'aw' in 'born') and is a separate letter in Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish alphabets, distinct from two 'a's.
