Permanent ALT characters >> keyboard

My friend has a Mac, runs OSX and tonight while chatting, his keyboard gives out all these ALT characters. Example:

Çå˜ ¥ø¨®´å∂ †˙ˆß?
Translated: "Can you read this?" (Yes, I've become skilled in reading that.)

Could it be that he pressed some keystroke combination accidentally?

My question: Does anyone of you know what happened and how this can be undone? Or is it the keyboard that's really dead?

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Kind regards,
~Josie


PS: My apologies if this should've been in the hardware forum, but thought this might just as well be a software related question.
