The right ALT key, on keyboard of other languages often labelled "Alt Gr", can 
(depending on keyboardlayout) be set to be the "compose" key, which lets one 
create non-latin characters by combining the key and a normal key.

You could check the keyboard layout/language/locale settings if there is 
something different to your usual setup.
