₤ (and £, which should have been the same character) is actually a
degenerate script lb (℔), so is #. (And "libra" = "pound", just
different languages.)
B.t.w., most fonts get the glyph for ℔ wrong, probably due to a mistake
in the example glyph in older Unicode charts (and a slightly misleading
name for that character). Please fix your fonts...
