Number 3 key on laptop- £ symbol instead of #

Asked by fairytales 2 months ago, 2 answers.

When I press the shift key followed by the number 3 key on my laptop, instead of the number symbol (#), I get the pound symbol instead. (£) Why is that? And is there some way to get my number symbol back?

Thanks for the help! I didn't know there was a difference between a British and American one! happy

Anyway, I googled it up and I found out that to get the # symbol, I got to press alt + 3. happy
