   AFAIK, there never was a real user of trigraphs (unless you count   
   compiler test suites). AFAIK for all real-world use digraphs were   
   sufficient.

   P.S.: Why did MSI move the <>| key (between left shift and y on a normal   
   german keyboard) into the place for AltGr (moving AltGr to the left,   
   into where normally the right end of the spacebar would be)? It is not   
   like they needed the space, they just made the left shift key bigger and   
   the space bar shorter.
