::::::Said Japanese friend here. As discussed [[Talk:Pound_sign#Explanation for Alt keycode 6556|here]] I am indeed trying to produce {{char|£}} in a '''plain-text''' context, such as Notepad, a text input box, or this Wiki editing area. When my 'keyboard' is set to Japanese (be it 'Japanese keyboard' or Microsoft IME - or indeed Chinese pinyin for that matter), Alt+0163 does not work (it produces ｣), and if I change to the Thai Kedmanee keyboard I get ฃ. If there were a 4- or even 5-digit code that worked (at one stage I had hopes for Alt+6556), that would be great, but what I currently see is that unless I switch the keyboard layout to e.g. UK or US and then use Alt+0163 (or Shift+3 in the UK keyboard), there is no simple way to input this Unicode character into such a text area.

:::::Of the applications you list, you're right: they provide no simple way to produce a {{char|£}}, at least none I know of. Of course, entering <code>&pound;</code> in the Wiki edit box will produce a {{char|£}} in the resolved text, but that's not what you're after. [[User:Peter M.

:::::{{re|Ozaru}} Have you considered using a [[script language]]? I have an [[Autohotkey]] script that runs by default; I use it for [[em dash]]es among many other things. The Autohotkey script to make {{keypress|Cntl|F}} produce a {{char|£}} would be just {{code|^f::£}}. [[User:Peter M. Brown|Peter Brown]] ([[User talk:Peter M.
