Might be either.  You may have foreign bodies stopping those keys
from working as you suggest.  In order to get them out you might
have to disassemble the key caps as far as you can and blow air
over what's left.  Unfortunately, you may have a problem involving
something eating-away at the metal tracks in the keyboard.  This
might continue eating away until it reaches more and more characters.

Until you resolve your problem, you've been able to 'type' those
characters somehow in the above post but might like to know about a
Control Panel called 'PopChar', earlier versions of which are share-
ware and available in the Mac archives.  This allows you to use the
mouse to 'click' on any character.  You might find it more convenient
than using the 'Key Caps' DA.
