Dollar, percent, ampersand, hash etc along with all the upper and lower case letters and numbers are true ASCII symbols and are consistent across all computer systems.
The Pound, Yen, Euro symbols along with all the accented letters, fractions and some punctuation marks etc come into the upper ASCII set (128-255) and can vary from system to system.
As a test I'm pretty certain that you will all see the following correctly displayed:
Dollar $
Ampersand &
Hash #
Percent %
But almost certainly most of you will find some of the following displayed differently from what I've typed (unless you are using Mail on a Mac configured to British English):
Pound #
Yen Â
Euro â
