Enable the GBP symbol. - Owen.. - May 26, 2015
Hi HF.
When ever I want to make a thread, it let's me put in the ££ symbol, but when the thread is published, the symbol doesn't appear.
Maybe a suggestion to add that, as it's frustrating covered GBP to USD>
Just a suggestion:)
Good day

What are you talking about

Hmm there is something weird with it yes. I just tested something, putting "€£ nbibvhvjhkvj" in a title. However, only the random letters showed up in the actual posted title, non of the symbols.
I see $ working fine all the time though.
I can't imagine a good reason as to why only $ works or why the others are disabled. But it would sure make a number of things easier if enabled.

The pound symbol does not work when putting it in a thread title. It appears to work, but when you post the thread, it's not there.

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Wondered this for some time now. It isn't a big issue, but it would be nice to see it added:)

But if GBP is implemented, then every country would want theirs too.

That could of been said by implementing the dollar sign.

So?
$ is used for US mainly, though I have sometimes see it used for Canada and Australia as well.
€ is used for a lot of countries in Europe.
Why is there 1 symbol for 1 (3?), and not one for many others? Goes against most logic.
Besides, even if all others are enabled. I highly doubt you will see them often.

I can actually answer this.
Back a year or two ago, omniscient banned special characters that weren't in the normal keyset (96) from titles as threads in the marketplace would have stars and bars in the title, and everything just looked cluttered.
Why not just ask for all currency symbols (euro, yen, pound) to be whitelisted?

Or you can use GBP which is what you did in this thread title.
