You don't give any details about your operating system or hardware, so it's difficult to hazard a guess. However, it occurs to me that you might be using an old 8-bit font, dating from the days before Unicode was invented. In those days, the pound sign was character number 0163 in the Western European encodings, but the same code number was used for other characters elsewhere. In Eastern Europe 0163 was the Polish capital L with a bar through it, and the old Russian (Cyrillic) 866 codepage filled that position with a lower-case Russian G, which looks like an inverted small-capital Latin L. That's not exactly the same as the backwards L that you describe, but might be a clue. Some of the old fonts also had box-drawing characters, including some corners that would look quite like reversed or inverted L shapes. Simply changing the font might correct the problem.
