£ sign in java

[Bull]

Does any one know how to display the '£' sign in java, so far i,ve tried:
String p = "£"
\u0186 the unicode char but no luck, i,m trying to print the sign in front of a value.

System.out.println("£" + value):

Lets see, if you're using notepad to write your source code then there is no luck. I have try other symbols but it never work.

Well, the first thing is, if you're using a console display it probably does not support all unicode characters. It does little good to add them to a string if your command line won't print them out.

The methods you list should certainly work, IF your display uses full unicode fonts. A web applet and a version 5 or higher browser would probably display the sign correctly.
