I want to set the keyboard layout to the standard US international in an Ubuntu 16.04 x64 machine I am accessing through Vultr (only have a command line, no GUI).

I have tried more than 10 US keyboard configurations that are given to me after running "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration", most of them from the model "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC". This is driving me crazy as I can only find layouts that have arrows (">", "<") or pipes ("|"), not both, so I need to be constantly changing layout.

EDIT: Seems like users of Digital Ocean are having the same issue: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/i-can-t-type-some-symbols-on-console

Ubuntu 16.04 keyboard settings

Go to Ubuntu settings
Click on <Text Entry> 
Click on <Allow different sources for each window>
Click on < New windows use the default source>

Now the Keyboard settings will return to normal keys for characters like @ and £ etc.
