I can type a £ (pound sterling) sign when I create the site, I can see it when I “show in browser”, but when I look at the actual page on the site (http://www.pencille.co.uk/howtoorder.html), there are just question marks (?) instead.
Anyone got any ideas of how I can get a pound sterling sign - BTW, I use a Mac.
Thanks

Try inserting this,

into a markup item and place it where you want.

Might be a better idea, but wonder if you made that text area or part of it a graphic?

I don’t know what’s going on. Freeway should do this for you. I tried typing a £ sign in Freeway Pro 5.1.1: it displayed fine both in Freeway and in the browser. Maybe this is a bug in the 5.0.2 version of Express?

The type of page encoding you’re using also factors into the mix
(ISO, UTF), but • will work. Use this character reference

There seems to be a problem getting this forum to display HTML character codes: all I see in Todd’s replies are the £ sign. Let’s see if this works:
The HTML entity code for a £ sign is: £

OK, that seems to work. I double-encoded the character. Maybe the whole code shows up in an e-mail?
You should certainly be able to get Freeway to display a £ sign by creating a markup item and typing the entity code for the £ sign into it. But this shouldn’t be necessary.
I’m wondering if the problem could be with your server: you say that if you “show in browser” it shows correctly. If it shows correctly in Safari when you preview the site from Freeway, but not in the same browser when the site is viewed from the web address, it would seem that the server is changing something.
Try this:
In Freeway, choose “File > Preview in Browser”. Are the £ signs visible? If they are, choose “View Source” in the browser and look at how they appear in the source code.
Look at the page from the web address. Choose “View Source” again and look at how the £ signs appear in the code.
If there is a difference between the code as published by Freeway on your Mac and the code taken from the web page, then the server is responsible.

If you need to show that a particular phrase is code, enclose it in
backticks (little back-slanting single-quote character, found
sharing a keycap with the tilde on US keyboards). If you want to make
an entire paragraph or more into code, just put four spaces at the
beginning of each line:
this is some gnarly code, dude
it can contain text & literal code escapes for characters
and it will not be converted into the escaped characters

Sorry about the mangled code, I was aware of the 4 space indent thing but I completely forgot to use it. FWIW Frances, I was not responding with just a plain pound sign as it must have appeared but with encoded alternatives. Hope you got it worked out.

Thanks Walter. I’m trying this out, but on the preview I’m still seeing the £ sign instead of the literal code. Maybe it will work when I send the message…

No, it didn’t work. Do I have the wrong backticks, or what?

OK, I’ve worked out what’s going on. The backticks work with entity names (amp, quot), but not with entity numbers. If I write “& a m p ;” without the spaces, it shows up correctly when put between the backticks:
&
but if I write “& # 3 8 ;” without the spaces, all I see is the ampersand:

Aha. Good catch. I will adjust the regular expression to look for numerical entities as well.
