Keyboard typing weird characters

I must have pressed a weird combination of keys on our computer keyboard yesterday. It means that now, whenever we press certain keys on the right-hand side of the keyboard, they come out with numbers or symbols. The only way of countering this is to press the “fn” key at the same time as you press these certain keys. Very frustrating, as you can imagine. We’ve tried switching on and off of course, but no joy there. Any ideas how we can get things back to normal?
