Hi,
I just tried this using the PHP client library and it worked fine.
$adParam2 = new AdParam($adGroupId, $keywordId, '£40', 2);
My PHP file is saved as UTF-8, so the pound sign is automatically
being encoded correctly. If you are working in another encoding can
specify the unicode code point entity of the character and use the
html_entity_decode() method to convert it.
$adParam2 = new AdParam($adGroupId, $keywordId,
html_entity_decode('£40', ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8'), 2);
Best,
- Eric
