the £ sign

[supanoob]

i dont know if this belongs here or not but i guess it does, anyway i have the following as my style since all i want to change is my font:

 

<style type="text/css">
div {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: black;
}



body,td,th,tr {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: black;
}

</style>

 

well basically the £ sign wont work on my website it brings up some other sort of symbol, now this is probably something trivial that can be fixed easily, but i cant seem to do it, any help will be much appreciated.

Try replacing the £ symbols with their ?unicode? equivalents: £

Or possibly change the page encoding(on some editors you can do this under Save As, others you have to find... but the encoding types are UTF-8,ANSI,Unicode..etc.  Using UTF-8, I see an A with an ^ on it before the £.  You could try saving it as ANSI.  I'm not sure the best type of encoding, but I seem to use ANSI without trouble/complaint.
