my £ symbols appear as ? marks on the web

When I recently published my web site on uwclub.net, the £ signs were
converted to ? marks as seen through an internet browser. Can anyone help me
overcome this problem?

I can give you two possibilities:

1. Change all £ to £ in your page. This will get you above the 128 character
mark (128 characters in ASCII).

2. Change the character set for the page output. <META
HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset="ISO-8859-1">. Not all
browsers respect this, however (esp. older browsers). In addition, you will
have to look up the proper Unicode character set to make the £ display
correctly.

OK, one more time - the entity number for the pound sign is
ampersand-one-six-three-semicolon. The entity name is
ampersand-pound-semicolon.
