Thread: How do I type in £ on our Aussie Keyboards

Garry, you have to use the numeric key pad, not the numbers above the letters.

Press and hold the Alt key then type 0163

GBP £ - Alt 0163
Cents ¢ - Alt 0162
Euro € - Alt 0128

Hold "alt" and enter 0163 on the numeric keypad.

£


EDIT -

Beat me to it.

Alt 255 was always a good one to use in a password. It would display what would look like a "space", but was actually a blank character.

That makes a lot of ¢¢¢
Thanks quids £££ Ron and d@rk51d3

Marvellous what you pick up on here.

The good old days of DOS, BASIC and HEX editing.

Thanks for that but I do not have a numeric keypad on my laptop .

You can change the default function to something a little more memorable if you like. For example, shift+4 gives you $, but you change the function for £ to say Alt+4 or CRTL+4.
I used to use Degrees a lot so changed it to Alt+o plus a few others that were easier to remember and quicker to use.
You can mod it under Char Map or where you access inserting special characters.

Using Capitals, the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse or helping your uncle jack off a horse...

Copy and paste the one above?

And what happens if you are using a notebook computer which doesn't have a numeric keypad?

You go to Programs -> accessories and choose the "Character Map" application and select what ever character and font you want!
