How to display GBP £ sign instead of ?

[queenie]

1. My site only deals with GBP (?), however, when I place the £ sign in admin and save, it always reverts to a ?. I eventually read a forum post that mentioned using '£' instead of '?' so I tried that - and it worked ! BUT.. if I use admin to edit currencies (even if I dont change anything) then I lose the '£' and reverts back to a '?' again - very annoying - any suggestions.

 

/includes/languages/english.php has the following set :

define('LANGUAGE_CURRENCY', 'GBP');

 

In Admin :

Switch to Default Language Currency = true

This is very much related to another of my posts - I can get around it by always remembering to change the entry if I go into currencies - but one of these I will forget and again my site will be showing $'s instead of £'s :'(

I notice that this happens if I load the database onto a localhost. Could it be anything to do with the charachter set used in mysql? Just a guess...
