Is it only the UK, then, that acknowledges the existence of other currencies? On the English (UK) keyboard we have symbols for:
Pound sterling - £ Dollar - $ Euro - ? For computers where the operating system is set up as English (United Kingdom) the only one that causes a problem is the Euro in emails in plain text. With an English UK setup, in plain text I can either send an email containing the euro as unicode, which messes up the both the pound and the euro, but leaves the dollar alone or I can send 'as is', when both the pound and dollar are OK, but the euro is received as a question mark. In HTML, all three symbols get sent and received correctly. I'm sending this 'as is', but in plain text because Arachne strips the HTML code anyway. If your computer isn't set up as English UK you now know how these symbols appear when you receive them in your setup. UK setups should receive the Euro as a question mark. On the keyboard the pound symbol is on the upper row number 3 key. The Euro and the dollar are both on the number 4 key, the dollar accessed with the shift key held down and the Euro with the Ctrl and Alt keys held down.
