I'm not sure these days what the "normal web character set" really is. If you're referring to ASCII (aka Basic Latin), then no, the Pound Sterling symbol is not present. However, for any of the ISO-8859-x variants, it is present, using the 163 (0xA3) value you noted (same as the Unicode code point). It's also in UTF-8 of course, but requires two bytes (0xC2 0xA3) to represent the code point. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
