Carbon. Darwin-port version. No X11.

No idea about encoding but I think it uses the Mac fontset.

Still produces useless rectangle character

Here's the result:
character: £ (04243, 2211, 0x8a3, U+00A3)
charset: latin-iso8859-1 (Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 1 (ISO/IEC
8859-1): ISO-IR-100.)
code point: 35
syntax: w which means: word
category: l:Latin
buffer code: 0x81 0xA3
file code: 0xA3 (encoded by coding system iso-latin-1)
display: no font available
However, in Emacs the £ sign shown above is a rectangle, ie. it changed to
what I need - £ - when I pasted it into this message via Mozilla. So, the
same character is producing 2 different characters in different programs.
Particularly this output should
