Hello Sierra I have tried for some time to find a way to put the UK pound symbol '£' into the text box as it always puts a 'J' in the box. I have looked through the support board and help files but the search function seems to have been sharply limited since you've done menu updates. How do I do this please? Thanks |

Type ALT-156 or ALT-0163 - both produce the £ symbol...

Hello Sierra - Did NOT work In WORD or NOTEPAD or on this screen, using Alt156 produces the '£' but in the Sierra Text Box - It produces a 'J' in either American or English Keyboard but it does NOT produce '£' Using ALT163 produces ú or a little 'b' with a dash on the top - again - it also does NOT produce the '£' symbol. I've tried a number of variations inc caps lock and off andf English / American keyboard - also see codes at https://www.alt-codes.net/ - But '£' still will produce - I can't even copy and paste it from another file (example notepad) - It always produces 'J' Please advise further Thanks - Mark |

The prior answer is not from Sierra Chart support. What you are trying to do most likely is not currently supported since Sierra Chart only supports 8-bit characters at this time.

For info my keyboard is configured for UK English. Shift 3 produces £ sign in a Sierra text box

Thanks - But that still produces 'J' regardless if English or US Keyboard and does the same on 2 different Laptops - Very Bizarre
