    Hello,

    When I vie wmy sites in Firefox, the £ (pound Stirling) and ' (apostrophe) symbols don't show up. In their place is a diamond with a question mark inside. Is there a way to make these work?

    Thanks!

    Basically browsers can't always understand these special characters but when this happens you can a special character into the html.
    In your code you need to replace the £ sign with
    
£
    Code (markup):
    The apostrophe normally works try using a straight apostrophe in stead of a slanting one in you code or vice versa. eg. replace
    `
    with
    '

    if not you could always use the html code (will place the apostrophe in)
    & #39;

    (without the space between the & and the #)
