Displaying £ symbol (pound sterling) Oracle 10G

Hi,

I am having problems storing and retrieving the £ (pound sterling) symbol ... I can store it as £ but it comes back as # !

If I change NLS_TERRITORY to 'UNITED KINGDOM" the currency symbol comes back as #

I think I may need to change the character set of the DB, has anyone had any experience with this?

Regards
Steve
