I'm trying to display the pound symbol in HTML (from PHP) but all I get is a symbol with a question mark.
The following are things that I've tried.
In PHP:
header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); In HTML, put this in the head tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> I tried displaying it using a javascript function which converts it to:
&#65533; I suppose it would help if I knew what I was doing... but I guess that's why I'm asking this question :)

Inserting the pound symbol using an Alt keyboard shortcutPress and hold Alt + 0163 or Alt + 156 on the numeric keypad.
http://www.ascii-code.com/ Says A3 = 163 is the ASCII value of the pound sign.
When you want to insert a special character, select Insert > HTML > Special Characters. From there are you presented with a few of the most common, or you can choose “Other” to view all the characters available. Simply select the character you would like to insert and the code is inserted for you.
Educated guess: You have a ISO-8859-1 encoded pound sign in a UTF-8 encoded page.
Make sure your data is in the right encoding and everything will work fine.
