#Tilde (~) key replaced with > after system update

After a recent update, the key that previously produced the tilde (~) character now types a greater-than sign (>). The issue occurs in both Zsh (+powerlevel10k) and Bash.

Using wev, pressing the key next to the left Shift outputs:

key: 94
sym: greater (62), utf8: '>'

I’ve tried resetting and switching layouts with:

hyprctl keyword input:kb_layout "pl" hyprctl keyword input:kb_variant "programmer" hyprctl keyword input:kb_layout "us"

but it didn’t help.

Keyboard: Logitech MX Keys Mini (connected via USB dongle)

Does anyone have an idea what might have caused this or how I could fix it?

Try switching the keyboard OS mode.
Press:
Fn + P => Windows mode
Fn + O => Mac mode

Switch to Windows mode and test again.

By the way, I'm using a UK layout and have Polish characters working with this setup:

  kb_layout = gb
  kb_variant = pl
  kb_options = compose:caps
