We operate an interchange site that sells in UK pounds. On a few rare occasions customers complain to us that all prices on the website have a ? instead of a £ sign in front of the prices. In Locale we have set currency_symbol to £. Consequently the html for our pages contains the £ symbol rather than £ Could this be the reason for some people getting question marks instead ofpound signs? i.e. Could the question mark be due to the regional settings of their computer or a lack of installed fonts?If so, should we change currency_symbol in Locale to £ instead of £I am a little cautious about doing this as it would also impact the plain text e-mail templates which use the [currency] tag. i.e. They would display £ instead of a pound sign, so I would have to change any e-mail templates to hard code a pound sign.Can anyone out there confirm whether or not I should change currency_symbol to £ and proceed as above, or would this not solve the question mark problem anyway? Thanks.
Hi John,We use &163; rather than £ as our currency symbol and that seems to work reasonably well. We also use the pound sign (£) raw in text email messages and no one's complained as yet.
