Pound symbol

Question

How do I enter the English pound symbol in a biography?

Or, find the symbol somewhere on line and copy paste it to your scratch pad. then you can just copy paste anywhere needed.

I do that because I can never remember the information given by Christine.

Answer 1

Press and hold the ALT key and type the number 0163 to make a Pound symbol.

This didn't work for me for some unknown reason.  So, I'll do the copy & paste suggestion.  Thanks to you both.

I could be wrong, but for that, I think you need to have Num Lock on and you need to do the numbers on the keyboards number pad (tenkey).

Hi E.  Most (maybe all) word processors have a function on the menu bar to insert special characters into a text document.  Like M, I can't remember the unicodes, and it's time consuming to look them up, so I have found it useful to keep a text document that contains all the special characters I would typically use, and just copy/paste them into profiles.  So far WikiTree seems to accept all of them and render them correctly.

Yes, I agree, it is hard to remember - I also put Pound symbol: £, and any others I often use into my WikiTree "Scratchpad" (on your Home page), as it's easy to find and just copy from there.
