Pound Sign

THANK YOU SO MUCH

You need to hold the ALT + FN keys and then type the # on numeric keypad while hold the 2 keys down. Unless you have a special keyboard with AltG international

Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+4

done

Thank you soooo much it worked and has returned the keyboard as it was, working well. Thank you again.

Thanks. It's to be so much helpful.

you have to press alt and use the numeriac keyboard on the side not the numbers on the top

It has to be the numeric keyboard, not the top row of numbers.
On mine this is Fn+key, so the Alt code is Fn+Alt+ numpadkey (0-9)

My problem is when i press the key shift+3 the answer is £
Alt s not working please help, my Laptop is Lenovo i'm in Philippines

Is there any way to do this on a Tenkeyless keyboard?

right alt + shift + 3
Context: Polish layout ~ based on US

Nothing working on US keyboard without NUM pad

Alt 156 - £ (Pound)
Alt 0128 - € (Euro)
Alt 155 - ¢ (Cent)
Alt 157 - ¥ (Yen)

Suppose in keyboard,Numerical button off so how to generate currency symbol

£££ yay it works

it's working on my keyboard window 7

£££...yay!!

On my Hungarian keyboard Alt+0163 gives Ł, and Alt+156 gives ť, and Alt+0156 gives ś. None of these letters are actually part of the Hungarian alphabet though! I've tried all combinations mentioned in the comment section, still to no avail :(

too find the pound sisn..press shift and number 3...££££

It works! Thanks for sharing :).

I have a totally different question. In Autocorrect how does "correct accidental use of cAPS LOCK key" work. Till date I have not been able to get an answer from anyone

Thanks in advance

Thank you Tim! I was using the numbers on top with ALT instead of the number pad and was frustrated!

Thanks Linda O,G re shift 3 pound sign, great it works been trying for ages the alt0163 does not work for me

Just cut and paste the pound sign....£

Rather than doing all that just do this
Control Panel - Clock, Language and Region - Keyboards and Languages - Change Keyboards - Add - Add the UK Keyboard
Then in the task bar you will find a button in the left of "Show Hidden Icons". Click on it, change it to UK and just press Shift+3
Shift+3 = £
ta da

OMG, none of those were working on my new apple keyboard, but I just found the pound sign accidentally - it was shift3 (numbers above the letters) - it suggests that that should give the hash sign, but actually that was alt3.

Look//££££££££££££££ yay!!

If your keyboard does not have a number pad (or if you are on a laptop like me) just copy and paste the pound sign from up above and into your writing. I tried this and it worked for me :3

Thanks a lot

Bless you for alt and 0163!

On laptops, try pressing the function key (fn) as well as the alt key then the code, e.g fn+alt+156 gives you £. the 156 must be on the number pad, which in most laptops is marked out on the JKLUIOM789 keys.

Thanks.................Its working for British Pound ALT+0163

To Make a larger "♥:"
> Type ALT + 3 on the Number Pad
> Highlight the heart
> Click on Font size box
> Manually enter a number such as: 500, 800 or 1000 (as long as it fits on your page)
> Then, press enter and check the heart.

Thanks to Ted for typing a comment saying "First, you must hold the ALT key down while typing all the digits and IMPORTANT, I think you can ONLY use the number pad on a standard keyboard and not the numbers across the top. On my keyboards it only works with the number pad"...

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT WITH THE KEY PAD!

Thanks to Ted for typing a comment saying "First, you must hold the ALT key down while typing all the digits and IMPORTANT, I think you can ONLY use the number pad on a standard keyboard and not the numbers across the top. On my keyboards it only works with the number pad"... I'd have been there all day if I hadn't noticed Ted's comment. Also the character only appears after you release the Alt button just in case someone didn't know (like me).

I have a keyboard from Hong Kong and cannot get the British pound sign using any of the number combinations you all suggest...any ideas??

For a heart alt code just hold alt and hit numpad 3. To make it bigger change your font to 72 or something.

how can i make like a big like a really BIG heart

thank you all ..i tried a few and got it with ALT 0163 Using numbers keypad.

First, you must hold the ALT key down while typing all the digits and IMPORTANT, I think you can ONLY use the number pad on a standard keyboard and not the numbers across the top. On my keyboards it only works with the number pad.

I have tried all of them on my windows computer but not succeeded.
I have windows server.
Help me if you can

i have tried on a laptop but not suceeded

For Pounds, You may as ell use ALT + 156(Better and shorter than this one) ;)

Anyone know how I can make a pound sign using a Spanish laptop keyboard with no numbers on the right hand side?
I have tried Alt+0163 and Alt+156 and the same with Alt gr for good measure!

How do I make the Seoul currency symbol?

Both alt+0163 & alt+156 produce the pound symbol on my keyboard. I never knew this and it has come in handy immediately. I have also found alt+123={ alt+125=} alt+124=| alt+126=~ the latter I use quite often and usually google it then copy and paste.

I am British and I made the mistake of buying an american keyboard. the code Alt+0163 works on this style of keyboards for the £ symbol

The result of Alt 0163 on an American 104 keyboard apparently is: £

Greg is right: the British pound sign is ALT+156 (£), different from the Polish Ł.

Both work on my German keyboard (using Win7): ALT+156 and ALT+0163 make the £-sign appear.

Actually it's not English it's British or UK £ and the code on Americam keyboards is ALT 156, I just used it. Alana, it is not on US keyboards, I know, I have one.

Actually this code is for Polish letter Ł, alt-code for British pound is ALT+156

But on american keyboards it is not.

this is already on the keyboard anyway! =D
