The bit in brackets I had put in as a pound sign and figures but it disappeared in transit.
That's because the pound sign is in the upper ASCII set. Each ASCII number represents one character.
The lower set (0-127) are standard across all platforms but the upper set (128-255) vary according to the operating system and program in use.
0-127 include all the capital and lower case letters, numbers and the commoner punctuation marks, but accented letters, pound, euro, yen etc are all upper set and may well get changed or even disappear in cyberspace. (Dollar sign $ is lower set, probably because of the American dominance in computing). That's why in emails you should use GBP or or write 'pounds' and 'pence'
