<div id="monthly_amt"></div>
<div id="currencySign">\u00A3</div>

You can use \u00A3 ...

Demo

Alternatively you can use entity name as £ or entity number as £ as well but you need to use .html() and NOT .text()

And use var and not Var

---

As you mented, I see you are getting more troubles with this, if you want you can acplish this easily with CSS like

#monthly_amt:before {
    content: "'£'"; /* Or you can use \00a3 instead of £ */
}

And your jQuery will be

var monthlypayment = 1000;
$('#monthly_amt').text(monthlypayment);

And if the element is dynamically generated, you can get rid of it using .remove()

Demo 2

It is:

£ 

or

£

You can check other encodings here:

http://www.w3schools./html/html_entities.asp

And here is a demo on how to do it: Online Demo

var sign = "£";
$('#demo').html(sign+124.5);

To print a pound symbol, simply ... print the pound symbol:

var sign = '£';

$('#monthly_Amt').text(sign + monthlypayment);

Or, if that's somehow unfortable:

var sign = "\u00A3";

$('#monthly_Amt').text(sign + monthlypayment);  

Or, with the quotes:

$('#monthly_Amt').text("'" + sign + "'" + monthlypayment);  

Demo

Update

It seems that the "variable" actually es from an HTML element, but \x00A3 only works in string literals.

This HTML fixes it:

<div id="currencySign">&pound;</div>

Demo

Try this one,

£   £ £  £  Pound Sterling

See this Link

     http://webdesign.about./od/localization/l/blhtmlcodes-cur.htm

Try using:

var sign = '£'
$('#monthly_Amt').html("\'"+sign+"\'"+monthlypayment);

For the £ sign use: £ (ASCII Code)

http://jsfiddle/seckela/7gjF5/

EDIT: Using .text() will render the literal text, .html interprets it as an HTML element and will render special ASCII Characters using the ASCII codes.

Use &#163;

$(this).text('£');

• If you try this and it does not work, just change the jQuery methods,

  $(this).html('£');

This always work in all contexts...

May be you have to look into it.

<div id="divResponse">
</div>

$(document).ready(function () {
var sign = "\u00A3"
var monthlypayment = "5000"
$('#divResponse').text(sign+monthlypayment);
});

here is the fiddle link : poundExampleJSFiddle
