Currency symbols

The currency symbol for “Pound” as in British pound isn’t showing up.

In the code in openmenu.php it appears garbled:

‘Â£’

If that gets interpretted its a inverted comma, followed by a capital A with a ^ above it, then the british pound symbol (only found on certain keyboards).
The HTML code is

& pound
or
& #163

However entered either of these, the code displays as written.

Its because the page displaying it doesn’t support UTF8. Update the theme to UTF 8 and it should display without issue.

Hi

I’m using the default WordPress twentyeleven theme. Isn’t that UTF-8?

I notice in the code that some currency symbols are written as so;

‘VND’ => ‘& #8363;’,
‘THB’ => ‘ & #3647;’,
(space added afer the & for display here)

Can I not use this technique for the GB £ symbol?

I think the issue has been resolved in the 1.4.4 update (should appear soon). It appears as if the file was not saved as UTF-8 which was required for the currency symbol function to work properly.

Please update to the new version and let me know if your issue has been resolved.
