Hi all. As some of you may know I'm from this little island called Great Britain. Here we use the British Pound (£) as our currency.

Anyway...

I've been using rdesktop to play about on Windows when I need to and can't seem to get the £ key working. The keyboard is in UK mode as the @ and " are the right way round (or the wrong way depending where you're from). When I try and type £, I get # which is what I believe Americans also call a pound (we call it hash)? This makes it hard looking up solutions on the net as they all assume I mean #.

I'm not sure if the developer is a bit confused between the two but I would like to solve it and was wondering if anyone has themselves?

P.S. I've tried the obvious of pressing the # key. It prints #.
