title: Why can't I display a pound (£) symbol in HTML?
body: <p>I'm trying to display the pound symbol in HTML (from PHP) but all I get is a symbol with a question mark.</p>
  
  <p>The following are things that I've tried.</p>
  
  <p>In PHP:</p>
  
  <pre><code>header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In HTML, put this in the head tag:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried displaying it using a javascript function which converts it to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&amp;amp;#65533;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I suppose it would help if I knew what I was doing... but I guess that's why I'm asking this question :)</p>
