When I initalise inputs with £ charecter its not the £

I have a strange problem. When I initalise inputs with £ character its not the £ character that I see but a weird �. But after the page is loaded the if I input a £ manually its fine.

<input type="text" value="&pound;"> ??

or if you have php you could use htmlentities?

your browser does not have the proper fonts and/or language sttings

best regards

Got code? It could be the content-type causing the issue.

It's probably a different font that doesn't support the £ character. Hmph!

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

and I'm using web safe fonts

Doesn't mean they fully support the UTF-8 character plane, but I'm more sure of this being a character encoding mixmatch or something similar. Is your file saved as UTF-8?
