Maybe I'm just being stupid, but there doesn't seem to be any £ sign on the iPhone keyboard, even if you set it to UK keyboard options only.

Is that really right?

EDIT: Sorry, I was wrong! Solved below.

UK keyboard, go to the 'numbers' keyboard, then go to the 'symbols' keyboard (button on the lower left). The £ is there, along with the Euro and Yen signs. :)

Ah... somewhat embarrassing admission time - I'd obviously only been trying it in the URL field on Safari. Then it's removed from the keyboard, presumably because it's invalid.

That's actually very clever. Far more so than me!
