help with console keyboard layout

I am implementing VMware ESXI 6 as my virtual hosting solution.

i have 2 VM's that i cannot administer properly due to american keyboard layout on the console. i am in the united kingdom.

i have:

United Kindom selected in the "configure keyboard" option on the VM host.

its also selected as the language on the install of the virtual machines (server 2012 r2)

however when i launch the console there is a little american flag next to the full screen icon, clicking this allows me to choose German or Spanish etc but not UK, only English US.

how do i get other keyboards etc.

the main issue is that when using the server with power-shell, simple characters such as backslash are not available making using the server very difficult.
