Hi there, I hope someone can help me!

I have some shopping cart software that I need to edit, and it's a tiny issue, but in my notification emails I cannot get the pound (£) symbol (UK currency) to appear correctly. At the moment, the line of code in question looks like this:

Code:

$message2 .= "Qty: ${$qnt}   \nItem No: ${$ide}   \nDescription: ${$naam}   \nAddtl. Info: ${$adlinfo}   \nPrice: GBP${$prce} \n\n";

And the difficulty arises toward the end where you can currently see 'GBP'. I have entered this as a temporary measure as if I enter the pound symbol (£) it does not output correctly into the emails - instead I get a £ (in case you cannot see this, it is a capital A with a tiny upside down 'v' above it, followed by the pound symbol). I have tried quite a few things but I can't seem to get rid of the A symbol. I'm assuming it's something to do with the encoding, but I'm finding it tricky to work out what bit of perl code I could add (and where) to allow the pound symbol to display on its own.

Hope someone can help me and I look forward to hearing from you!
