All three use a key found to the left of the "z" key and to the right of a half-sized shift key found on ISO 102/105 keyboards. But US Keyboards are missing it.

You can enable the On-Screen Keyboard in windows settings for those times you need to use that key. With the Swedish language enabled the on-screen keyboard will include the missing key.

Well aware of how it looks on a swedish keyboard, but I was feeling pretty stupid not finding them with the US layout, but the comments above about related threads seems to answer the question that it simply doesn't exist. – user2782999 – 2020-02-12T20:22:29.927

Yeah, doesn't exist, sorry. It's physically not there. But hopefully toggling the on-screen keyboard can save you in those cases you need to use that key, which I hope is rare. ;) – David – 2020-02-12T20:40:28.083

haha developer/sysadmin in windows platforms..... so not that rare....... – user2782999 – 2020-02-12T20:41:43.113

I worried that... being you are here. For me, because the on-screen keyboard responds to keypresses on the real keyboard, I can click just the one missing key when I need it but type all others and shift on the physical board. That's the only option short of buying an international board with the missing key. – David – 2020-02-12T20:57:26.070

The answer is that the characters does not exist using a swedish layout.
