SOURCE: picture lock

Protected pictures cannot be erased using [ERASE],
[SEL. IMAGE] or [ALL ERASE], but they are all erased by
formatting.
• Go to Playback mode in the camera. Select the picture to be unlocked with the left or right arrow buttons, and to remove the protection select OFF with the up or down arrow button.

Typewriter Brother AX-22, When typing, a wrong symbol showed up.

I lack access to the keyboard. That said, according to the manual on page 13, depressing the code button and holding it down while pressing another key will access the green symbol on that key, part of an alternate set of characters. It you see a green / mark on a key, you have your answer. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/376756/Brother-Ax-22.html?page=17#manual
The page 17 you see in the link pulls up page 13 in the manual.
