possible incorrect keyboard mapping in ubuntu

[Tomoki Taniguchi]

I tried setting the 133 to 125 but when I reboot,
the "\" "|" key stopped working.
I took a look at the link you sent
the pictured keyboard is the same layout as mine.
and the key that stopped working was the one labled as "7D"
how should i go about confirming what scancode is being pressed?
