You've got to be more specific than that I'm afraid.

What app are you taliking about??

Is it a certain font or all fonts??

Please expand.

It's probably because that symbol isn't in that font.

The pound sign most likely isn't supported by the font you are using...

I can see both a £ and a ? in your first post.

What symbol,
What app?
Do other apps do it?

in safari follow these steps -

view->text encoding->UTF-8

or

view->text encoding->Western Latin (ISO Latin 1)

this might cause other rights to get the question mark...so you will havet switch it back to default.

Are there really a lot of fonts that don't have the £ symbol in them? I could kind of understand if € was absent, but £ should be in most of them, shouldn't it? Well, not Symbol or Dingbats, obviously, but....

You would think so, but I find the number of fonts with limited character support is pretty vast.
