Full Discussion: Printing Sterling Pound Sign
Operating Systems SCO Printing Sterling Pound Sign Post 302116850 by nyasai on Wednesday 9th of May 2007 04:27:11 AM

The character exists in the printer font set, the pound sign is given as 0163 which works in Windows but in UNIX it only accepts 163 which is "ú". If I can get an escape sequence that displays on the UNIX without mapchan then my problem would be solved.

Note that with the MAPCHAN I can view the pound sign on screen but It does not print to ttyp configured printers. It prints fine to the local printer connected to the lp0 port, but this only after setting the device locale to cons.858

Rather than using mapchan, try sending the character as an escape sequence as in \0nnn where nnn is the octal value of the character.
