Depends on your keyboard settings. It's not a single keystroke on the American
keyboard (and of course I have no way to know what your keyboard setting might
be).
You can get it with any keyboard, though, by setting the Num Lock key, holding
down Alt, and typing 0163 on the numeric keypad: £.

The zero is not required for extended key calls.

The zero is not required for extended key calls.
It also depends on which font is in place.
Arial yields the correct symbol.
Australian Sunrise does not.
And I was incorrect about the leading zero.
It is needed... for your selection
alt-156 gets one there as well.

Dear Jack Shephard, locksmith and thief, who rose from the dead in 17??57 I

(worth a novel.) You unlocked the mystery. Arial yeilds up pound sign, but
Times New Roman, beloved of Mills and Boons editors, yields up Yen sign.
This microsoft 400 eronomic key board is in Australia, and the Yen is
necessary here. But DELIGHTFUL all the foreign letters are there. I write
from time to time in German, and have been looking for an umlaut for ages
(convention add an e). I rate you tops. Carole the catlover in Sydney

Australia,
Well, Mr. Vinson gave you the answer. It is an extended key call,
beyond the standard 128 or so we get to use from normal keypresses.
The font thing allows those extended keys to be different from font to
font, as well as "fonts" that are specifically meant to be symbolic all
the way through.
It can cause problems at the destination end if they do not have the
same font available to them.
Like in electronics.
The Ohm symbol is alt-234 in most fonts. With "Symbol" font, it is
"capitol-W". A lot of situations where I have used it, it shows up
errantly at the destination end as an upper case W.

You aren't being specific. If it is a text field just change it to currency
