If I press the £ (shift 3) key in Go Live (CS2) it is preceeded by a
capital A with a circumflex. Any ideas how to put this right? (OS 10.4)
£ is represented in UTF-8 as a sequence of these two characters, so one fix could be to explicitly change the "charset" of the web page to UTF-8. The other way would be to make Go Live write £ or £ (don't leave the trailing ";" out).
The encoding-agnostic way of doing this (the HTML named entity for the pound sign) is £.
Which some older browsers don't support, sigh. But given what else is likely to not work on them either, it may be a reasonable thing to use.
If you're using XHTML, then you can assume Unicode.
Maybe you can, but you *should* specify Unicode rather than assuming it. From the top of one of my pages...
