Where is the accent circonflexe on the Swiss French keyboard?

I may just be thick, but I really can't find it!  Embarassed


I'm trying to do my French exercises on the computer, (seeing as how I almost never hand-write anything anymore) and I can't type "vous êtes" without switching to an English layout and using dead keys.  Is it really not on the Swiss French keyboard?  Is the accent circonflexe just not that important? 


Thanks for helping me with my silly problem!

On my laptop keyboard it's between the DEL and the '? key, above the è.

The circonflexe is normally on the top row (with the numbers) and will be towards the right side of the keyboard. It may be on a key with some other symbols.


Can you not SEE/FIND the circonflexe or do you not know how to use it on a Swiss French keyboard? The key point is that on a Swiss keyboard the circonflexe is not associated with any letters. It is on its own.


To use the circonflexe you first hit the circonflexe key (nothing happens) then type the letter such as e or o to give you the result you need ê and ô.


Clear?
