</div>By "pound key" I presume they mean a comment mark (#), ASCII position 35 /<br>
0x23. Also known as a number sign, hash or square.<br>
<br>
Now a boring history lesson: In the bad old days, ASCII was a 7-bit code; and<br>
each country had a national variant, replacing certain obscure punctuation<br>
marks with accented characters and other symbols peculiar to the local<br>
language and culture. In the old British ASCII variant, position 35 was<br>
indeed a £ sign (a stylised cursive L with a horizontal bar, occupying<br>
position 163 now we are using 8 bits per character).<br>
<br>
This seems to be the source of the confusion. At any rate, I have never seen<br>
a British, American or other nationality telephone with a £ key bottom<br>
right -- though I have encountered many printers that produced a £ sign<br>
instead of a #, when given ASCII code 35.<br>
<br>
On my machine (British keyboard, Linux) I can type a £ sign by pressing<br>
shift + 3; I can also get one by pressing Alt Gr + shift + 3. On a Mac,<br>
shift + 3 and option + 3 produce £ and #, one way around or the other. I<br>
don't know about Windows.<br>
<br>
One might have naïvely expected them to choose position 36 -- the dollar sign<br>
in US ASCII -- for the pound sign in British ASCII; but British practice was<br>
to write, for example, "No. 1" as opposed to "#1", and in any case there<br>
might be good reasons for wanting two currency symbols -- easier to sell<br>
computers to banks if they look as though they can perform conversions<br>
between currencies? Also, the British variant would have been the obvious<br>
choice in countries such as Australia and New Zealand, where the local<br>
currency is called the dollar and given the symbol $.<br>
