The question was about the location of the letter tav on the keyboard and the answer was that it is found where the comma is.
There is no final tav - it has only one form. There are only five letters that have final forms - kaf/chaf כ/ך, mem מ/ם, nun נ/ן, pei/fei פ/ף and tzadi צ/ץ.

Technically, it is not silent, but is a glottal stop, i.e. the opening of the wind pipe here when the word starts with a vowel.

In casual speech, I hear the word בת used to refer to a female person, and the word בן used to refer to a male person. I'm guessing that this may be to avoid the age distinctions of girl vs woman or boy versus man.

You should download and install a keyboard with the Hebrew characters. A search on the Internet will get you the info for your device.
Another, slower, option is to use a website such as Google Translate or DoItInHebrew, as if you were translating FROM Hebrew. You can copy what you've typed and then paste into DL. I recommend using their standard Hebrew keyboard, so that you'll learn the layout for when you install a Hebrew keyboard. (The alternative is using phonetic typing.)
