OK, according to https://wiki.debian.org/Keyboard, you should install 
keyboard-configuration and follow the on-screen prompts. You probably 
want to choose either "macbook78" or "macbook79" (the International 
variant - the number probably indicates the number of keys on your 
keyboard) as the keyboard MODEL.

Secondly, are you saying that pressing the tilde key produces the string 
">or<" or the string "or"? Either way, that's an odd thing to produce. I 
wonder if you have some sort of macro or keyboard shortcut set up? In what 
sort of environment does this happen (e.g. Linux Terminal, Gnome, KDE 
etc?)
