PSION Organiser II Forum

Hi, I'm looking to use "£" or ASCII code 156 on the 2 line Psion but codes 128 to 159 are mysteriously missing. Does anyone know the reason for this? Would it be possible to add them in software? I was looking to use in Autoscribe and Comms link to a pc so using UDGs would not be an option. Seems strange to me for Psion to miss out "£" on a UK model and keep some less common characters. I know the LZ has an improved character set but I'd rather use the 2 line model. Does anyone know if it's possible to expand the Psion XP ASCII codes?
Kind regards, David

I’m afraid, David, it’s fairly well known that the CM and XP (and LA) don’t have the £ symbol in their character set. I think one of the demo programs in the user manual shows how to define the UDG for it.

It was the firmware (or even hardware; because I’m not sure if the Hitachi LCD chips define the character matrices) introduced in the LZ that gave us the £ symbol.
