I seem to have the same problem... It seems to be that Blockland (or an add-on) messes with the Keyboard Configurations of Non-US keyboards... and tries to make them US setting... So screwing with lots of the punctuation. I have found no fix for this... If you want to type stuff into console... use the seperate screen console (like DOS prompt). As for punctuation, all I can recommend is typing into something else then copy + pasting :3

Please correct me if I am wrong..

I have a similar problem and I have a US keyboard.

I can't use ~ for console, and I can't use ' or = in chat. What's also strange is that the \ key types a ] in chat.

Dr.Block... a quick test to see something... In a normal word document or something what does Shift and 2 come out as ? (just to see if it is a US keyboard) because in Blockland my English Configuration of " changes to a @ symbol which I believe is what Shift 2 does on american setups.

After having similar problems in other games I have done googling and some searching and asking questions etc. And I have found a fix!!!

How to fix the problem with keyboard controlls messing up.
For some reason multiple games have this problem with Infra Red Devices and for some very strange reason it messes with your keyboard settings.
To fix in Windows - 1) Click start
2) Click Control Pannel
3) Click Device Manager
4) Expand the Universal Serial Bus Controllers tab. (USB to you and me ;) )
5) Uninstall the Microsoft eHome remote/receiver or Microsoft eHome Infared Transceiver or similar driver.
6) Restart the game and it should be good.
This is the way I have fixed multiple problems with many games including Fallout 3 and now Blockland, I hope it works for anyone else having the problem.
