UK currency £ sign not showing

Question

Hello,
This stopped working after a system upgrade a couple of years ago. I can type a £ into a field, but when I save the record it shows as &#163; (not good) or Ł (acceptable, although not quite right).
Someone suggested to change App Properties to force UTF-8 encoding. However, when I do this exact forms stop working (they no longer pull values from fields and only show field names/codes). There could be other change in behaviour, that I haven't noticed.
Is there a fix for this or a way to show Ł consistently?
Kind regards,

I have two thoughts.Can you change your input text field to be Rich Text.  I suggest first make a copy of our text entry field first!! and then changing the text copy field to be type Rich Text.  I think using a rich tax field will solve your issue but I don't know what's going to happen with the current data in what I assume as a regular text data entry field.    or else in view mode display a formula Rich Text fied with this formulaSearchAndReplace([my data entry field], "Ł",  "&#163")------------------------------Mark Shnier (Your Quickbase Coach)mark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------
