no QWERTY keyboard has the british monetary symbol on it.
Depending on what font set you are using your mail program
is replacing the 'number sign' # (ALT+35) when someone has tried
to display the GBP symbol (ALT+156)

GBP is always understandable, even by us Brits!
(so, how come a UK keyboard has both # & $, but your US keyboards aren't so
accommodating?)
