This may be more of a mysql issue, but I am using php for my app so here

I have a fee field in the database, and when users post events they can
specify entrance fee in £. In some, not all, of the fields I am getting, for
example, £7 rather than £. Is this an encoding issue?
My guess is that it is. There are difference
between browsers, OS's, and thus support for
multilingual code-points. Not all allow the user
to submit those types of characters and worse
yet, some allow to them to be submitted
incorrectly.
As such, if it were me and I wanted a form for
the end user to indicate what currency s/her was
entering, I would make it a selection control of
some type and thereby control the user's input.
My $0.02.
