How can I write a pound sign by using a dell keyboard

The easiest way is to hold down the Alt key and type "156", then release the Alt key. You will see a British pound (£) sign appear. However, sometimes "pound" means the number sign (#), but that's mostly used in voicemail prompts.
If you use the first pound symbol a lot, you can either keep it on the clipboard, or consider remapping a key you never use (like the tilde, or ~) to type that character (see http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article02-022).

Hope this helps!

Hi, 2 of my key symbols display the wrong character when pressed. i cannot find the pound sign even though it appears on the 2key. regards dan

the first thing I would do is go download a "keymapper" when you run it it will tell which keys make which symbols, numbers, and letters. So if there is a mapping issue you could also fix it.

The pound symbol

I am unable to answer your problem that why you are not getting the required symbol if it is there (Hope that you are pressing the no. 3 with Shift key pressed).
But if you need a Pound sign you can get it by pressing 0163 key from the right side numeric keypad while pressing the alt key (i.e. alt+0163).
Remember that you cannot use the upper number key for this purpose.
