Raspbian Wheezy keyboard mapping problem

I found my Raspbian Wheezy got a wrong keyboard mapping. When I type '@' and '#' symbol, it turns out to be other characters.

After searching in the internet (using DuckDuckGo in Raspbian :-D) I found this thread http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/1042/why-is-my-symbol-not-working

So the problem is default keyboard layout is UK and I have to change it to US by change its configuration file using nano.

sudo nano /etc/default/keyboard

change XKBLAYOUT value from "gb" to "us"

then restart the PI

sudo /sbin/reboot

after my PI is wake up again, keyboard layout is changed to US and now problem solved.
