I think she means this symbol:     �

If so, it's the "pound" symbol, for the British form of currency as
opposed to the "$" symbol which is for dollars.

Btw, most keyboards have different alternate keys and symbols
available. My old 486 PC used to have the � symbol on it. Now
if I want to use it I have to use the Character Map instead and
cut-n-paste.

Cheers!
