You mean {}? You hold down the shift key and hit the key next to p and the one next to that. At least, that's how it is on my keyboard layout.

In Panther, show the Keyboard Viewer from the keyboard input menu at the top right of the menu bar. If the input menu isn't there, you can turn it on in the International>Input Menu control panel.

The keyboard viewer will show you the layout of your Danish keyboard. Now hold down Shift and Option Ctrl and Shift-Option to see all the available keys.

It's opt-shift-8 and opt-shift-9.

By the way, for what it's worth:

( ) = parentheses (singular: parenthesis)
[ ] = brackets
{ } = braces
