Subject: British Pound symbol in a .txt upload file

Hello -

We have a UK client uploading a .txt (comma separated) file to a varchar
100 field in our database.  The piece of data their trying to upload
includes a British Pound symbol and when the user is viewing a report to
check their data, the symbol has been replaced by the letter "u" with a
"tick" over it. Has anyone heard of such a thing?
