Here's the result: character: £ (04243, 2211, 0x8a3, U+00A3) charset: latin-iso8859-1 (Right-Hand Part of Latin Alphabet 1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1): ISO-IR-100.) code point: 35 syntax: w which means: word category: l:Latin buffer code: 0x81 0xA3 file code: 0xA3 (encoded by coding system iso-latin-1) display: no font available However, in Emacs the £ sign shown above is a rectangle, ie. it changed to what I need - £ - when I pasted it into this message via Mozilla. So, the same character is producing 2 different characters in different programs.
