with an small set of terms i have here i produced a file reading "the 
symbol £ is just a normal symbol" via echo and then cat'ed it in each 
terminal. 

--xterm:
matt at debian:~$ cat poundsign 
the symbol £ is just a normal symbol

--uxterm: (xterm + unicode support)
matt at debian:~$ cat poundsign 
the symbol  is just a normal symbol

--gnome-term:
matt at debian:~$ cat poundsign 
the symbol :~$ cat poundsign
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this was also highlighted

--konsole:
matt at debian:~$ cat poundsign
the symbol  is just a normal symbol

so there we have it. xterm is the best. ;)

since steve is running the same software as me and i have not altered 
anything from the default install it must be the terminal in question.

cya,

matt

£ PS: apologies to steve, as he probably wont be able to read this ;)
