£ sign displaying A^ in front

[janie678]

Hi, very new to php. My £ signs are all displaying weird characters instead of £ symbol. I tried &pound but still not working. I'm using utf-8.

Can anyone help.

Heya, janie678. Welcome to TSDN!

Make sure you set your character encoding in your HTML document. Most browsers will default to using ISO-Latin-1 (or something like that).

It looks like you are missing the semicolon at the end.

However, with utf-8, you should use the character entity reference instead:
