Well on my British layout keyboard, I have the following:
Shift + Alt Gr + Y = ¥ (165)
Alt Gr + Z = « (171)
Alt Gr + X = » (187)
I can't find the other one [? (12289)], but it is possibly there
somewhere. Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that they will be on
the same keys for your layout.

What is Gr?

Do you have a key labeled "Alt Gr" ???
Never seen such?

"AltGr" = Alt Key on right of space bar.
I thought the "Gr" was german for "Gross" meaning "big" or "Capital",
but that was an assumption...

Alt Gr = Alternate Graphics.

The key is available not only on German keyboards, but also UK,
Swiss-German|French, French and Scandinavian (IIRC). Probably many
others too.
