I think you've expplained the difference well. On keyboards vver on this
side of the Big Pond, shifted3 gives the pound currency sign. the 'hash'
or number key is right next to the apostrophe and left of the enter key.
Most of our weighings are now done metric in kilogrammes (kg's).

If you do the shift +numbers row 3 you get the symbol for pounds in
weight.
It looks like a tic tac toe grid. If you do insert (or jaws key)
+numbers
row 4, you get their list of often used symbols. Hit p until you hear
pounds. That symbol, so I'm told, is the symbol for British pounds. It
resembles a capital letter L. Karen

Flor,
So, ASCII code, 156 & ANSI value 0163 are the same symbols, just have
different meaning according to how you are using them, whether it be for
weight or currency. Is this correct? Thank you very much.
Take care.
Mike

Mike,
yes. that's another way to produce the pound sterling currency symbol.
Its ANSI value is 163.

Hi Flor,
If you follow the steps below, what £ symbol do you get? Is it the 1
for
the weight of something or the British Pounds?
You can also press Insert + 4, on the number row above the main
keyboard
for
the symbols list, arrow down to £, & press enter. Pressing enter on
the
symbol will place it where ever you are in a file when you press
enter.
Take care.
Mike

nearly there. Its ANSI value is NUMPAD ON then [alt]0163 . Another
one,
the ASCII code, is NUMPAD ON then [alt]156 .

try the numpad5 3 times quickly. you should hear
a number. you can turn numlock on and while
holding down the alt key enter 063 on your numpad
and then release the alt key. you should get this
symbol: £ and of course, when the cursor goes
over that character, jaws says nothing unless you
press the numpad5 3 times quickly.
