On a US keyboard (Macintosh or otherwise), that key appears to the immediate left of the 1/! key. XFree86 calls that keycap <TLDE> and it scans with keycode 49.

That's called a section sign. I can't remember ever seeing a keycap like that before. Can you tell me what scancode that key produces? You can use xev to determine this. -- G.
