IS-BASIC

<lang IS-BASIC>PRINT CHR$(35)</lang>

ZX Spectrum Basic

The ZX Spectrum uses a modified ascii character set that has a uk pound sign at character number 96:

<lang basic>10 PRINT CHR$(96);</lang>

You can print a literal £ if it is available in the default ANSI code page: <lang bbcbasic> PRINT "£"</lang> But to be on the safe side you can do this: <lang bbcbasic> VDU 23,22,640;512;8,16,16,128+8 : REM Enable UTF-8 mode

     PRINT CHR$(&C2) CHR$(&A3)       : REM UTF-8 encoding for £</lang>

bc

You can print a literal "£".

Befunge

There's no portable way to print an extended character in Befunge, since character output will typically use the default code page of the operating system or environment. On Windows this will often be Windows-1252 or ISO-8859-1 for GUI applications and Code page 437 for console applications (but that also likely depends on the OS localisation).

Example output of a pound character in Code page 437: <lang befunge>"| "+,@</lang>

Example output of a pound character in ISO-8859-1: <lang befunge>"%~"+,@</lang>

Erlang

In Erlang a string is a list of integers. So the list of 196 is £.

Output:

8> Pound = [163].
9> io:fwrite( "~s~n", [Pound] ).

Forth

Works with: GNU Forth version 0.7.0

The emerging ANS Forth 20xx standard includes an XCHAR wordset which allows manipulation of non-ASCII character sets such as Unicode.

<lang forth>163 xemit \ , or s" £" type</lang>

Go

<lang go>package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

   fmt.Println("£")

}</lang>

Haskell

<lang Haskell> module Main where main = do

       putStrLn "£"
       putStrLn "札幌"

Icon and Unicon

Write a given character number, say '163', using char to convert the integer into a string.

<lang Icon> procedure main ()

 write ("£ " || char (163)) # £

end </lang>

J

<lang J> '£' £

  '札幌'

札幌</lang>

Java

<lang Java>import java.io.PrintStream; import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;

public class Main {

   public static void main(String[] args) throws UnsupportedEncodingException

fun main(args:Array<String>) = println("£")</lang>

Lasso

<lang Lasso>stdout(' £ ')</lang> Result:

Locomotive Basic

<lang locobasic>10 PRINT CHR$(163)</lang>

Lua

Lua requires an extension module for UTF-8 support. However, the '£' symbol specified for this task is part of extended ASCII (codes 128 - 255) which can be accessed in the same way as normal ASCII. <lang Lua>print(string.char(156))</lang>

Pascal

<lang Pascal>program pound; uses crt; begin

 write(chr( 163 ));

end. </lang>

Perl

<lang perl>use feature 'say';

OK as is

say '￡';

these need 'binmode needed to surpress warning about 'wide' char

binmode STDOUT, ":utf8"; say "\N{FULLWIDTH POUND SIGN}"; say "\x{FFE1}"; say chr 0xffe1;</lang>

Phix

On Windows (Linux should be fine), you may need to set the terminal to a truetype font (eg Lucida Console) and the code page to CP_UTF8 (chcp 65001).
See demo\HelloUTF8.exw for a (not very pretty) way to do that programmaticaly.
The following assumes you have done that manually, and saved the source code file in UTF-8 format. <lang Phix>puts(1,"£")</lang> Output:

£

PicoLisp

<lang PicoLisp>(prinl (char 26413) (char 24140)) # Sapporo </lang> Output:

PureBasic

Python

Python 2: <lang Python>print u'\u00a3'</lang>

£

Alternatively, as any Unicode character is legal in Python code: <lang Python>£ = '£' print(£)</lang>

Racket

lang racket

Raku

(formerly Perl 6) To demonstrate we're not limited to Latin-1, we'll print the fullwidth variant. <lang perl6>say '￡'; say "\x[FFE1]"; say "\c[FULLWIDTH POUND SIGN]"; 0xffe1.chr.say;</lang>

REXX

<lang rexx>/*REXX program demonstrates displaying an extended character (glyph) to the terminal. */

                           /* [↓]  this will display the £ glphy (if term supports it).*/

say '£' /*assuming the pound sign glyph is displayable on the term. */

                           /* [↑]  this can execute on an  EBCDIC  or  ASCII  machine. */
                                                /*stick a fork in it,  we're all done. */</lang>

Seed7

A write to a console accepts Unicode characters.<lang seed7>$ include "seed7_05.s7i";

 include "console.s7i";

const proc: main is func

 local
   var text: console is STD_NULL;
 begin
   console := open(CONSOLE);
   write(console, "£");
   # Terminal windows often restore the previous
   # content, when a program is terminated. Therefore
   # the program waits until Return/Enter is pressed.
   readln;
 end func;</lang>

Sidef

<lang ruby>say '￡'; say "\x{FFE1}"; say "\N{FULLWIDTH POUND SIGN}"; say 0xffe1.chr;</lang>

Tcl

Provided the system encoding has a “£” symbol in it, this works: <lang tcl>puts \u00a3</lang> Tcl can output all unicode characters in the BMP, but only if the consumer of the output (terminal, etc.) is able to understand those characters in its current encoding will the output actually make sense. Strictly, this is not a limitation of Tcl but of the environment in which it is placed.
