£ signs showing as ?
problem resolved by adding

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">


********************

Help- I have an app that reads data from a mysql table and shows the text in a form.

Everything works fine except the £ symbol shows as a ?

Any ideas?

Thanks

does ISO-8859-1 support it? ISO-8859-1 is westren and by default does not contain £ as far as I know, I'd recomend using UTF-8 for all your pages, it supports all char sets

try typing £ instead of the pound sign itself.
Browsers will translate it themselves.
