Weapon Keys are shown as '&' or 'é' instead of '1' or '2'

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number GTX 1070
Enter RAM memory size in GB 8 GB
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Airborne
Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
Summarize your bug They Key's shown in the interface for weapons / grenades are not corretly shown as set in the keybindings. For example. My keybindings are all set as default 1. For main weapon 2 secondary and so on. However in game ( SP or MP or Firestorm ) the keys for the weapons are '&' or 'é' or something like that. However by pressing the correct keys like '1' or '2' like set in the settings the weapons are changing without problems. It's just a graphical problem which is kind of annoying especially on Firestorm with the "huge" interface with all different options.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Good question because it's more a visible bug in the interface.
What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing.
What should be happening instead? Correct Weapon Keys shown in the interface.

Like said in the "Summarize your bug" My keybinds are all default in the settings. Changing them doesn't affect the keys shown on the interface in game.

    Do you have a keyboard plugged into your Xbox and do you also use a custom Xbox controller, or a standard Xbox One controller like what is included in the console?

    Do you have your keyboard language set to a different region than the language of the game? What type of keyboard do you have?

    I would try:

    • Right-click on the game in Origin and select Repair
    • Try resetting your keybindings back to default
    • Check to see if your keyboard has the latest driver

    My Game is English US. My Keyboard is in Swiss French. This shouldn't be the problem because a friend of mine has the same settings.

    1. Already "Repaired" the game, even re-installation.
    2. Multiple times done. Even changing Weapon to a different key doesn't change it in the interface.
    3. I just got a new keyboard last week so installed a new/other driver anyway.

    Do you have a different keyboard you can test to see if it's hardware related?

    Oh, seems like is misunderstanding. The problem exists since release so, yes even with another keyboard which i got last week the problem still exists.

    Do you have any special characters in your Windows username?

    No. Not at all. It's simply "Steve". I've as well checked multiple times the language settings of Windows but there is nothing off.

    You mentioned the actual keybindings works so it sounds UI related. We'll get this tracked, thank you for the help @R0dith!
