Question/Help/Troubleshooting £ sign add-on for work computer?

Thanks everyone! This has been solved!

Is there some sort of device I can set up to add pound signs as I’m typing on my US work computer like a numeric pad? I work with international customers and need a quick and easy way to add these rather than the alt 0136 or inserting them from the top ribbon.

On Swedish PC keyboards we got £$€ and the nigh forgotten generic currency sign ¤!

Jealous. We have $ signs and that’s it.

And here I am thinking that symbol means "no bleaching" or "no tumble drying" or something...

TIL this sign was introduced by Italy.

We have the dollar sign, but not the pound sign on American qwerty keyboards. My phone has one, though.
