Using £ with ISO-8859-1 works fine for me with Opera 9.00 (Linux), it should be the same for you. Have you tried specifically defining ISO-8859-1 in Opera? (Go to View > Encoding and change "Automatic selection" to Western/ISO-8859-1)? Also, how are you defining the charset? A meta element or via a HTTP header?

Is it showing a different character instead of the proper one? Or a box? or nothing? (It could be the font you are using in Opera simply doesn't include that character.)

do you not see the character on only that specific page or no other pages as well? <edit reason: Forum Charter [webmasterworld.com]> [edited by: tedster at 8:41 pm (utc) on Aug. 24, 2006]

i'm seeing a thick black vertical line ... on further investigation it is showing in place of several special characters... including ½ and ¾ <update> i've reinstalled opera again and the problem has gone as a note i have another site using the same special characters (eg £ € and the various fractions) and they were showing correctly, it was only on the one site that they weren't showing. but as i say i've reinstalled opera and the problem has gone! ... thanks for your input guys.
